BIOGRAPHY

  • Early Life: Carter Guidry was born to Edouard and Cadianne Guidry in Natchitoches, Louisiana in 1991. From French Creole background, Carter grew up in a middle class household as Edouard served as a local police officer and Cadianne as a high school social studies teacher. Carter participated in track and field in high school and speech and debate.
  • Time at LSU: Carter's early undergraduate career at LSU was shadowed over by the death of his brother, Charlie Guidry, in Iraq after his army convoy was hit by an IED. This would prove to be a turning point in Carter's political development as he began to look towards the libertarian, anti-war faction of the Republican Party. He would ultimately graduate from LSU with a bachelor's degree in public administration but not before a legislative internship with Congressman John Fleming from his hometown confirmed to him that government policy was his future. He was offered the job as Coordinator for LSU's Office of Governmental Affairs, under the Vice President of Governmental Affairs at LSU, which he worked in from 2013 to 2017. After developing policy credentials around issues of higher education and an ability to negotiate, he found himself catching the eye of a outsider candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2016.
  • Taking a Chance on Earl Duplantis: Prior to working for Senator Duplantis on Capitol Hill, Carter had befriended Elizabeth Duplantis and Billy Duplantis during his time working at LSU's Office of Governmental Affairs. An offer to work in Washington as Deputy Legislative Director to the newly-elected Earl Duplantis was a great opportunity that Carter took. Working in the office from 2017 to 2021, Carter had a front-row seat to the Trump Presidency due to his boss's closeness to the 45th President. He developed a close working relationship with Senator Duplantis and found himself quickly within the Senator's inner circle.
  • An Unlikely Spotlight with Mike Johnson: Encouraged by Senator Duplantis to take an offer from Carter's home district congressman, Mike Johnson, to serve as Legislative Director for his office, Carter was hired in 2021. A more conservative voice on Congressman Johnson's team, he worked to move the Study Committee Chairman more to the right when possible while proving to be effective as his legislative director. Carter was one of the primary individuals responsible for convincing Congressman Johnson to enter the race for Speaker of the House following the removal of Kevin McCarthy. This proved to be a fruitful venture as Speaker Johnson emerged from the chaos for the remainder of the session of Congress. Despite the loss of the House in the 2024 elections, Carter was an influential voice within Speaker Johnson's office, often seen by his side.
  • Back to Their Roots with Team Duplantis: Following the loss of the House in 2024 and an open position with his former boss, Carter returned to Senator Duplantis as his legislative director in 2025. Carter was critical in developing and lobbying for the Revitalizing American Seafood Industry Act that was signed into law by President Van Horn. At the encouragement of friends and family, including Elizabeth and Billy Duplants, Carter threw his hat into the ring to replace his former boss, Mike Johnson, to serve as the next Congressman from Louisiana's 4th Congressional District after Johnson was nominated as Special Envoy to the Abraham Accords.
  • Personal Life: Carter met his future wife, Veronica, while working as Deputy Legislative Director for Senator Duplantis on Capitol Hill. They met at a congressional Christmas party as Veronica worked as a Policy Coordinator for New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. They married in 2021 at a ceremony in Washington D.C. Carter owns a golden retriever named Pappy and is an avid hunter in his free time. He is known for his gaming habits, having played since middle school, and can be found playing primarily Call of Duty and Fallout.

    • Senator Gus Guenther Announces Bid for DNC Chair in Post-Election Push "I am proud to announce that I am standing for DNC Chair." - Senator Guenther In a surprise move following the recent election results, Senator Gus Guenther (D-RI) has declared his candidacy for the position of Democratic National Committee Chair. Speaking at a press conference in the Rotunda, Guenther outlined his vision for revitalizing the Democratic Party as it looks toward the 2028 election cycle. “After great thought and careful consideration, I am proud to announce that I am standing for DNC Chair,” Guenther declared, noting that the decision came within twelve hours of the election results. His announcement sets the stage for what could be a significant reshaping of the party’s leadership in an election year. Guenther emphasized the importance of reconnecting with everyday Americans, stressing the need for the Democratic Party to prioritize the issues that matter most to working families. “Our party is committed to working people. We are the voice of everyday Americans,” he stated. “The success of the Democratic Party is vital if we are going to restore sanity, competency, and vision to not just the White House and Senate, but to statehouses and governor's mansions across this great and holy country.” Among his proposals, Guenther highlighted a plan to innovate the primary system by hosting party-run town halls. These events, he explained, would bring candidates directly to voters and foster meaningful dialogue on the issues. “Politics is about the personal. Only then does it actually work for the Jims, Marlas, Diegos, and LaFondas of America,” he said. Guenther’s platform also includes creating a unified declaration of the party’s core legislative principles to ensure cohesion across various Democratic factions. He vowed to build a durable infrastructure of organizing and coalition-building that he hopes will guide the party for “generations, if not centuries.” The announcement has already sparked speculation about its impact on other Democratic leaders. When asked whether current DNC Chairwoman O’Hare might seek a different leadership role, Guenther described her as a “one-of-a-kind leader” but deferred further questions about her intentions. The press conference also touched on the Democratic Party’s approach to engaging younger voters. Responding to a question about whether his leadership represents a step backward into old-guard politics, Guenther acknowledged the need to better involve younger generations. He promised a “generational change election” in 2028, likening the opportunity to the legacies of John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. Guenther also reflected on the mixed results of the recent election, in which Democrats retained the House while Republicans held the Senate. “We had a good cycle, especially considering how unfriendly the maps were,” he noted. However, he called for a renewed focus on grassroots coalition-building as the key to future success. Senator Guenther’s candidacy introduces new momentum into the Democratic Party as it seeks to navigate a politically divided Congress and prepare for the critical battles ahead. His bid for the DNC Chair promises to bring a mix of pragmatism and ambition to the role, with a clear focus on connecting with everyday Americans.
    • Grand Theft Democracy ‘26: We’re Not in Kansas Anymore By Rondal Goldfarb Well another election has come and gone and little has changed in Washington. As predicted, Republicans retain control of the Senate, Democrats still control the House, and everything will be business as usual despite marginally smaller margins in both houses. Both parties still offer only big government prescriptions to things like energy and housing when it is the government itself that is the underlying sickness. VoxLibertatis—Yesterday at 4:32 PM Everything going to plan is what I expect out of this election night. A lot of tight races that resolve to the mean for the most part by the end. At the end of the night it will still be a Republican Senate, a Democratic House and life will continue on as it has to the next most important election of our lifetime. Our predictions for the Senate were infallible, as usual, with places like Florida, Louisiana, Kentucky, Montana and Texas staying safely red after the Democrats did everything they could imagine to kneecap their own. Apologies to Matthew McConaughey for his career but no matter how old this gets, Matthew McConaughey jokes stay the same age. The DNC sending their flogged gimps out to campaign for Congressional seats after humiliating primary defeats as former Senator Tester did for Ryan Zinke and Governor Hochul for New York congressional seats that were inevitably lost was some next level cuckolding though. The Republican’s loss in Maine was to be expected after Strom Thurmond’s great grandfather, Senator John Hunt (R-ME), announced his retirement. And while Governor Sununu (R-NH) has his own flaws, Senator Shaheen and every other sycophant that supported seven pandemic bills, including the Pre-emptive Pandemonium and Cybersecurity Hysteria Act should be pilloried by voters. The exception to the rule, of course, is the midwest. Despite the DNC shafting Iowa out of its half-century tradition of picking the next President, Iowans somehow warmed to Democrats again. Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Earl Duplantis (R-LA) woke up this morning, turned to his lapdog, RNC Chair Tom Worthen (R-SC), and whispered ‘Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’ Governor Laura Kelly (D-KS) continued to defy historical odds in Kansas to defeat Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) for U.S. Senate in Kansas. Popular Governors rarely are able to translate that success into the Senate against the partisan undercurrents in their states (See also Baker in Mass) but something to note here is that the two-term Governor actually expanded her base, winning over 50% support statewide for the first time in her last three successful statewide elections. Senate Minority Leader Coleman (D-CO) attributed that win to the strength of Kelly as a candidate. VoxLibertatis—Yesterday at 6:21 PM From Whats The Matter With Kansas to more populism equaling a Dem flip. Lots to unpack here. #MoreToCome Left wing hack Thomas Frank published a book two decades ago titled ‘What’s the Matter with Kansas? How Conservatives Won the Heart of America’ that is funny for both its humor and its attempt at political analysis. In it he describes how Republicans embracing populism helped realign the midwest solidly into their column for decades. The Republican party has grown increasingly more populist since then, as we have extensively covered, but on economic grounds. Perhaps the popularity of mob rule did not necessarily mean an endorsement of full bore socialism after all? The real story that began in Nebraska last cycle and manifested here is more likely the GOP’s long overdue shift away from social conservative populism. With Roe gone and no more scary gay agenda boogeymen, their racist uncles did not come home. Kansas is the New New Jersey.  Meanwhile, the New Jersey effect is still going strong. While Speaker Jeffries kept his majority, it narrowed and New York State was ground zero for Democratic losses. Republicans flipped 3 congressional seats in New York alone, and the New York State Governor’s mansion for the first time since George Pataki (R-NY) left office in 2006. Former NFL player Marcus Grant (R-NY) was the only election where the hail mary on superstar power worked but in reality, the writing was on the wall. Of the four Democratic Governors since Pataki, all of them end in scandal or embarrassing defeat. If this election answers no other questions, at least we know two things to be quantitatively true: It takes two licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop, and four straight scandalous Governors to change parties in New York State. Someone in Chicago right now is jealous at how long corrupt politicians can skate by unaffected in New York, I am sure.  VoxLibertatis—Yesterday at 6:15 PM Way to go CNN. Biggest call of the night and they screw it up. All in all, not a lot of unexpected results in 2026. What coulda, woulda, shoulda been a Democratic year demurred into politics as usual. And while results in Kansas and New York are certainly noteworthy, I would not call it a realignment just yet. The real story from last night is how the Corporate News Network continues to fail the American people by  bungling one of the biggest calls of the night by showing the wrong vote totals. Keep up the fantastic work, kids! While you can continue to rely on the Mainstream Media for the latest in political advertisements, you know where you can continue to turn to for pulitzer-prize winning coverage and to: #ChooseFreedom @micgat@DMH@Abrams@camilodeso
