hb79 charlie dewitt & rapides sheriff race

state representative charlie dewitt is rumored to be running for sheriff of rapides parish next year (2007) due to being term limited out of the legislature. we have heard this rumor from several different non blog sources. so, representative dewitt files hb79 to up the supplemental pay of certain law enforcement officers and deputy sheriffs only problem is that his bill didnt even make it out of the state house appropriations committee. will the failure of this bill hurt or help rep. dewitt's chances of running for sheriff?
