Now that the dust has settled from the jungle primary in Louisiana, we are heading into the runoff where there are still key races to be decided. We will continue our series of looking at candidates in the legislative races as we seek to bring information to our readers about the best candidates and the reasons why.

First up for the runoff lineup is House District 90 where two Republicans are vying for the win.  Incumbent Mary DuBuisson faces challenger Brian Glorioso in another RINO-versus-conservative contest.

DuBuisson has taken some egregious, pro-abortion and anti-parental rights votes that need a closer look amidst her recent efforts to make outrageous claims about these votes. One bill in particular DuBuisson voted against was offered by Senator Katrina Jackson that would give teeth to the ability to hold doctors accountable for using abortion on demand as a means of birth control.

DuBuisson is the only Republican legislator in Louisiana who voted against Jackson’s 2022 bill, SB342, which stiffened penalties for doctors performing elective abortions, and more pointedly increased for late-term abortions.

Making false claims in her campaign literature stating that this bill would have forced mothers to carry a miscarried child to the full term of the pregnancy, DuBuisson either cannot read or is flat out lying about the bill she voted against. The text of the bill that became law clearly states on page three:

(b) Abortion shall not mean any one or more of the following acts, if performed by a physician:

(i) A medical procedure performed with the intention to save the life or preserve the health of an unborn child.

(ii) The removal of a dead unborn child or the inducement or delivery of the uterine contents in case of a positive diagnosis, certified in writing in the woman’s medical record along with the results of an obstetric ultrasound test, that the pregnancy has ended or is in the unavoidable and untreatable process of ending due to spontaneous miscarriage, also known in medical terminology as spontaneous abortion, missed abortion, inevitable abortion, incomplete abortion, or septic abortion.

There have been instances of Republicans in the legislature voting for amendments to pro-life legislation that would allow for exceptions for things such as rape and incest, DuBuisson among them. Yet on final passage of this bill, DuBuisson was the only Republican who voted with pro-abortion Democrats against the final bill.

Adding insult to injury, DuBuisson filed a bill in 2023 that would have changed the language of the law, barring calling these late-term procedures an “abortion.” She falsely stated in the committee hearing, that Louisiana’s pro-life laws mean that “women carrying dead babies will be forced to carry them to term even at risk of their personal health.” She continues this pro-abortion falsehood in her campaign literature.

DuBuisson’s pro-abortion bill was so egregious it never made it out of committee. Louisiana Right to Life issued their assessment of this pro-abortion bill in a release when the bill was killed.

Third, during the committee hearing for the bill mentioned above, DuBuisson said that Louisiana’s pro-life laws mean that “women carrying dead babies will be forced to carry them to term even at risk of their personal health.”   We were shocked that she said such a blatantly false statement in committee.

As we wrote in this space during the primary, “Casino Mary” DuBuisson has had many other failures of judgement this year alone.

Just this year alone, she voted in favor of busting the spending cap to allow for the obnoxious spending orgy that ensued in the waning minutes of the legislature’s regular session—and adding insult to injury, she then voted to pass the spending orgy.

As an extra added slap to her conservative voters, she REVERSED her vote in the regular session in favor of Rep. Raymond Crews’ bill HB81 that would require parental notification before a school could change the name or pronouns of any student to anything other than the sex or name that was recorded on the child’s birth certificate.  In the veto override session, DuBuisson flip-flopped and voted AGAINST overturning soon to be ex-Governor John Bel Edwards’ veto of that bill.

DuBuisson voted against HB25 that gave St. Tammany Parish authority over woke library boards that put pornography in the library’s children sections, promoting the LBGT agenda. She also voted against HB466, a bill that would bar discussions by faculty of “gender identity” with young children in schools. When HB466 passed and was vetoed by Edwards, she again voted AGAINST overriding the veto.

These weren’t just run of the mill bills but were benchmarks on conservative separation of the wheat from the chaff. DuBuisson failed miserably.

These and other concerns led to Brian Glorioso stepping in to challenge DuBuisson for the seat. He has earned the endorsement of the LA Freedom Caucus PAC, which seeks to find conservative candidates who could pass the strict vetting process for invitations to join the LA Freedom Caucus. The LAGOP, along with the St. Tammany Parish GOP, have chosen to jettison incumbent DuBuisson to endorse challenger Glorioso.

With over twenty years of experience and licensed in the insurance industry, he is also an attorney representing both industry and individuals. Glorioso is a conservative looking to step in and offer real solutions to these devastating problems.

There is a new day dawning in Louisiana, and our new governor is going to need people with real world experience and a strong will to effect badly-needed change. It’s time to make that change in House District 90.
