BATON ROUGE, LA - State Treasurer John Kennedy today called for state Sen. Troy Brown to resign his public office.

"Sen. Brown has been arrested not once, but twice, on domestic violence charges. He bit his wife and hit another woman referred to as his 'side friend' in the face," said Treasurer Kennedy. "Violence against women is completely unacceptable for anyone, much less an elected official. The state spends tens of millions of dollars a year to prevent domestic violence. Senator Brown should immediately resign."
