Anh "Joseph" Cao

The lone Republican challenger to U.S. Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao has withdrawn from the Aug. 28 primary, leaving the incumbent with no opposition until he meets his Democratic opponent and three independents in the Nov. 2 general election, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office.

Norman Paul Billiot of Marrero withdrew from the race Monday, the first business day after he filed the previous Friday, telling Ed Anderson of the Times-Picayune that he lacks the money to run and now supports Cao.
