About THE TRACKER
A Political GPS for Louisiana
A news service from the folks behind LaPolitics Weekly and LaPolitics.com, THE TRACKER focuses on the news, images and voices that are driving Louisiana politics. A free publication, THE TRACKER includes analysis, opinion, an aggregation of the stories that are helping to craft the state’s political narrative, upcoming events, takeaways from the world of Louisiana politics, the week's political birthdays and much more. It's all delivered in small, digestible bursts of text. You may even spot your name in it from time to time. Serving as the circulatory system for insider politics in Louisiana, THE TRACKER was first published in 2016.
THE TRACKER is edited and written by Jeremy Alford, an independent journalist in Baton Rouge. He is the author of the forthcoming THE LAST CONSTITUTION and the co-author of LONG SHOT. His bylines appear regularly in The New York Times and he has served as an on-camera analyst for CNN, FOX News, MSNBC and C-SPAN. He is the publisher and editor of LaPolitics Weekly, the state's leading trade publication for elected officials, lobbyists, campaign professionals, journalists and others making their way along the backroads of Bayou State politics. His syndicated news and opinion columns run in more than a dozen newspapers and magazines throughout Louisiana.
