[[Moon Griffon]], the statewide [[radio]] talk show host based in Lafayette, has long criticiized Alario and what Griffon sees as the Senate President's [[liberal]] policies. Alario could not seek a fourth Senate term in the nonpartisan blanket primary to be held on October 12, 2019. He is not seeking to return to the state House of Representatives, as is his ally, Democratic state Senator [[Francis C. Thompson]] of Delhi in Richland Parish, who faces no opposition in his switching from the Senate to the House, in which Thompson had previously served. | [[Moon Griffon]], the statewide [[radio]] talk show host based in Lafayette, has long criticiized Alario and what Griffon sees as the Senate President's [[liberal]] policies.
