Ravi Sangesetti, a former congressional candidate and an attorney practicing in New Orleans and Houma, is launching a political action committee this spring to target seats in the Legislature, with a slight Democratic bent.

It will be called the Bayou Blue PAC, he said, with an initial goal of raising $250,000.

“We’re definitely going to be recruiting new candidates. We want new blood, regardless of party,” said Sangesetti. “But we’ll be coordinating with campaigns too.”

He said he is already working with consultant Chris Bender to get the PAC up and running.
