An impressive résumé and introduction, even if you don’t live in Louisiana.
I’m running for United States Senate because Louisiana and our country are at a crossroads, and Washington’s political games are only making us sick. It’s time to take a new road, and I hope you’ll join me: https://t.co/lI336iVf9K #lasen #lagov pic.twitter.com/G4sxAWS7J4

I think this is effective. It doesn’t attack any of his opponents, it presents himself as a highly competent and effective person who has experience as the public service bug. That’s the first step to getting elected. The Republican incumbent, Bill Cassidy, is running for reelection, and it’s worth remembering this:
Cassidy was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014, defeating incumbent Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and becoming the first Republican to hold the seat since 1883. [Ballotpedia]
If Perkins makes it out of the primary – and it appears to be a jungle primary – he may be a more formidable opponent than Cassidy is expecting in the current political climate.
