Lost in the shuffle of the Woody Jenkins loss in Louisiana 6 was the overwhelming victory of Steve Scalise in my old district, Louisiana 1. Scalise is the real deal, a solid conservative with bedrock principles, unchallenged integrity, and political smarts. I first met him back in 1989, when he was just getting out of college, and have watched his career closely ever since. He will be a superb addition to Congress.
