Jeffrey D. Sadow
American political scientist
Jeffrey Dennis Sadow (born June 24, 1962) is an associate professor of political science at Louisiana State University in Shreveport known for his Internet writings on behalf of political conservatism and the Republican Party in Louisiana.
Academic background
Sadow holds degrees from the University of Oklahoma at Norman, Oklahoma, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and the University of New Orleans.
After a stint at the University of Illinois at Springfield, he joined the LSUS faculty in Shreveport in 1991.
Political writings
On October 21, 1995, Sadow ran for a Shreveport seat on the Caddo Parish Commission. Sadow lost to another Republican, John P. Escude, 4,697 votes (56.4 percent) to 3,628 (43.6 percent).
In 2009, The Washington Post's "The Fix" blog included Sadow's blog as "one of the best state political blogs" in Louisiana as voted by readers. Sadow has been particularly critical of Democrats, such as former President Barack Obama, former Senator Mary Landrieu, and her brother, former Lieutenant Governor and former mayor of New Orleans Mitch Landrieu. Sadow said that Mitch Landrieu "promotes partisanship over policy" and seeks to undermine the Jindal administration.
Relevant to Louisiana politics was a contribution to the online political science journal The Forum concerning the factors behind the 2003 governor's contest.
Sadow supported the reelection of Senator David Vitter in 2010 and Vitter's unsuccessful gubernatorial candidacy in 2015.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Jeffrey D. Sadow”, the useful work is to connect “american political scientist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6175935. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1962, 1991, 1995 and 2009.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
