Broughton had committed to the victorious Republican gubernatorial candidate [[Bobby Jindal]], but Doerge had proclaimed her neutrality in the governor's race in which her former legislative colleague, Foster Lonnie Campbell, was also a candidate. Broughton questioned why Louisiana Highway 371 remains a two-lane road. He had promised if elected to "bring transportation dollars home to our area." Broughton also proclaimed himself a[[ pro-life]] candidate: "Life starts at conception, marriage is between a man and woman, and the [[Second Amendment]] should be protected and held sacred."
