Primary Election results show the right courtroom experience matters more to voters than the number of years practicing law.
In the recent Primary Election, voters in seven North Louisiana parishes chose candidates for judge who had the right courtroom experience over the number of years practicing law.
Those candidates are:
Phillip Ellis, District Judge Elect
Lincoln, Union
Adam Cossey, District Judge Elect
Morehouse, Ouachita
Rachel Bays, District Judge Elect
Bienville, Claiborne & Jackson Parishes
Brandi Cole, City Judge Elect
West Monroe, Ouachita Parish
In each race, voters chose the candidate who had the right experience over the candidate with more years practicing law, and they chose candidates who put family first and shared their values.
Voters in Lincoln Parish gave Mike Smith the most votes in the Ruston City Judge primary because he has the right courtroom experience, puts family first, and shares their values.
