Video Part 1 and Part 2 from WDSU (includes commercials).
IPR has already extensively profiled Green Party candidate Malik Rahim, but this is our first look at Libertarian Gregory Kahn. Also participating in the debate is Republican Joseph Cao, who would like to be the first Vietnamese-American Congressman. Incumbent William Jefferson, under indictment on federal corruption charges, was invited but did not attend.

Always good to see a real debate with all of the candidates.

Only Part 2 of the video is linked.

It is pretty clear that Malik Rahim has the gravitas to be elected. Mr. Rahim has lived and been a community organizer there for many years, and is presumably well known.
If I lived in that district, I would have a hard time choosing the Libertarian. Seemingly an oddity, Mr. Kahn is a lifelong federal employee?? Actually, that isn’t so odd. I know of a few disgruntled government employees active in the LP.
But Mr. Rahim does seem to be the best candidate in that race.

I thought Khan sounded the best, though I may be a bit biased.
