Well that's a red flag if there ever was one.

Don't take my word for anything. Look at who is funding her campaign. Look at who Myers has donated to. Talk to the EBR Republican party about how she responded to their questions.



...or consider that Big Jim doesn't support Faircloth. All of those are good reasons to be wary of Hines Myers.

That's not a bad assumption. She represents the status quo. According to her own website she has worked for the ebr DA office since 2010. She's endorsed by Hillar Moore, Doug Moreau, and Tony Clayton. I don't know this but have heard that she's supported by the BR Business Report and has a lot of BR Old Money supporting her.

In contrast Jordan and his wife aren't from BR - they chose to be here. They chose this town to settle and start a family. He is a BR outsider that is choosing to do something and improve the community.

BR does not need status quo.





Agreed!

Supported by the current DA in EBR, the current DA in WBR (who is also a personal injury attorney), and an ex-DA of EBR, as well as some ex criminal court judges from the 19th JDC, all while serving as an ADA in Baton Rouge.

If you had to line of everyone who is at fault for the crime in Baton Rouge, which is out of control, you could probably fill out most of the line from people at her campaign events. Caveat, I haven't heard how Murphy Paul is voting.

Jordan Faircloth would be a fantastic judge for Baton Rouge. High quality person and absolutely rock solid conservative.

I don't know Louise Hines Myers but I'm not impressed.

As an attorney that practices in the 19th JDC with regular frequency, we need more judges like Jordan Faircloth sitting on the bench in the 19th JDC. By all accounts, Myers is a RINO. She knows she couldn't be elected as a democrat (which is what she really is) so she is running as a Republican. Jordan is a true Republican: honest, hard working and has solid conservative values that will make him an asset to the rule of law, the Court and the people it is supposed to serve. Turn out will be low, so for all you folks in BR, please take the time to go out and vote for Faircloth!

Exactly.

And isn't it a conflict of interest for Hillar to be on her campaign material? He will be bringing cases in front of her.

And if it's not a conflict of interest - isn't it at least a little concerning to you the voter? That a judge would in some way be indebted to the DA? If you're an undecided voter or if you don't plan on voting bc you just don't care, this fact should have you casting a ballot for Jordan on principle

Rarely is it so obvious but this thread represents the biggest set of fabrications (for those who find this a big word, lies are what I mean) that can only spring forth from cow manure (if that’s too big a word you can be helped).

With that, let’s unearth the maggots flowing out of this. First, you candidate, Faircloth, has none, zero, nada experience as a criminal prosecutor, but twice he’s ran for judge claiming he’s tough on crime. Where’s this toughness? Where has he demonstrated he knows how to prosecute a criminal? When was he successful doing such? Again, no record. Blank. Zero.

Given this total lack of experience, his supporters wish to promote his candidacy by claiming he’s a conservative when it comes to crime! Really, where’s the evidence? None! Blank! Zero! Just his babbling every time he tries to become a judge. Political bs! That’s it.

Now, you wish to attack the Hines lady so you can make Zero Faircloth look like he could be a judge. Your attacks are silly and fabrications. Her record as an Asst DA and criminal prosecutor clearly shows she is the only candidate demonstrably a tough and conservative prosecutor. He has successfully prosecuted murdered, faircloth hasn’t. Louise Hines Myers has prosecuted rapist! How many has Faircloth? Sex crimes against children, Louise has ripped their heads off. Faircloth, how many? Please speak louder when you say zero.

Pro abortion? All you had to do was look. By her very smart prosecution, Louise Hines Myers put a criminal in prison, life I think, for trying to kill his wife and killing the unborn child she was carrying, a case upheld at the Supreme Court. Faircloth’s, please tell me!

Contributions? Louise, a lifelong resident of Baton Rouge, can clearly say all of her donations have come from this community, her family and friends. She hasn’t received money from politicians’ campaign accounts from all over our state like her opponent,Zero, has. Soros? Hahahaha. Insanity.

Guns? She’s a violent crime prosecutor. Think for a moment. You think she just might understand a handgun is required for self protection? I don’t know, but ask her. She might just have an answer that would undermine this stupid political accusation. Just thinking loudly.

The problem is this: you guys wanted your guy, faircloth, to finally win one, so you attack this woman. Fact is, when it comes to criminal prosecutorial experience, there is no comparison between their records. It’s why three current or former DAs have endorsed Louise.

I just wanted to set the record straight since you have done all you can to deceive.

Her greatest achievement that she advertises is getting emotional support dogs in the courtroom. Let's pump the brakes on the experience angle. A judge isn't prosecuting. They are applying the law. Big difference in that and being handed a case from your boss that's emotionally charged and cut and dry like a murder or a rape.

Her social media history 100% supports liberal policies. When Roe was overturned she shared a post criticizing the decision as, and I quote: "the Supreme Court believes life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting".

The issue with this argument is it is all about Hines' job as a prosecutor asking when Faircloth has been in criminal court etc. The reverse can be said of Hines. Has she taken a deposition, drafted a Motion, argued it to the judge, tried a bench trial, tried a jury trial, have any understanding of real estate, construction, or personal injury?

The point I was making at the outset wasn't that she doesn't have experience in the criminal court room. It was that she only has experience doing the portion of a job that is very easy.

Exactly why we need someone in office with a fresh start, like Faircloth. We need a young motivated judge. We need to get away from the old stale status quo that doesn't work like Myers.

You seem to know Myers, so I'll ask you this:

quote:

First, that isn't abortion, that is a crime called infanticide. I'm glad she did her job in putting a criminal in jail, but that doesn't mean she supports restrictions on abortion. Is she pro choice? Does she agree with the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs? Does she believe a Louisiana law banning all abortions would be constitutional?



quote:

Guns? She’s a violent crime prosecutor. Think for a moment. You think she just might understand a handgun is required for self protection? I don’t know, but ask her. She might just have an answer that would undermine this stupid political accusation. Just thinking loudly.


Does she support the Second Amendment? Would she support a constitutional carry law? Does she want to ban assault rifles? Does she support stricter gun laws?






More Importantly:

Was she a Republican 5 years ago? If she was a Democrat, why did she change to Republican? Did her views change, or was it a ploy to get elected in a conservative district?

Did she vote for Donald Trump in 2016 or 2020? If not, did she vote for Hillary or Biden? Third party candidate?

Would she throw out the charges brought by Alvin Bragg against Trump?

In the past 10 years, has she ever donated to a Democrat?
