SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - Leaders from both the Caddo Republican and Democratic parties are sounding off after the conclusion of the final debate between the run-off Senate candidates Congressman Dr. Bill Cassidy and Senator Mary Landrieu.

About a dozen people gathered around a television streaming the debate at the Shreveport Democratic headquarters on Fairfield Avenue.

They watched intently, mostly silent. However, as soon as the debate wrapped, the group was in good spirits, saying they felt their candidate won the debate.

Stephanie Lynch is the Caddo Parish Democratic Party Chair. She's proud of the watch party's turnout.

"As you saw it was a diverse group, men, women, black and white, we want our state to be unified to work together," said Lynch. "I just think it showed tonight that we unified behind Senator Landrieu, we are looking for a victory Dec.6."

None of the Republican organizations KSLA News 12 reached out to in Caddo, Shreveport or Bossier held formal debate watch parties.

Caddo Parish Republican Party Chair Louis Avallone watched the debate and says "I think issue after issue, demonstrated that he understood, the fundamentals, about why that issue was important, not only to Louisianians, but to the betterment of our country."

Both Lynch and Avallone feel their parties candidates will win this Saturday's election.

"I think the state is going to go for Senator Landrieu, they want someone who can get something done," said Lynch.

"I think if Louisianians come out and vote with the principals that are important to Louisiana, I think Bill Cassidy wins this in a heart beat," said Avallone.
