Way too early Judge's Race Predictions
Posted on 9/7/14 at 9:05 pm

I know this board tends to focus on national and world politics, but considering so many judge races in the 18th, 19th, & 21st JDC I figured I'd see if anyone had any predictions. ( although I figure only lawyers may actually know who is running).

No one is running in the 18th. Every one of them kept their seats without opposition.
21st only has Chutz's open seat because he slimed his way onto the 1st Circuit without opposition.
19th has a bunch of nobodies running against incumbents (or for Bates' open seat) with the exception of Caldwell versus Piedrahita, and the challenger is doing all he can to downplay his background as an ambulance chasing plaintiffs lawyer.

I think Judge Caldwell will get reelected in the 19th.

Erwin has very real competition in the 19th.

Maybe it is 23rd I was thinking about. I know Oneil Partenton is running for a seat.
The only one I've heard of in the 19th for Bates seat is Highinbothom. Erwin has Welch against him, right? That could be dangerous for Erwin. The Caldwell race....I have no clue.
I know the 21st has a family seat open, but no thoughts on any of them. Who has the inside track on Chutz seat?
Isn't there a race in the Feliciana Parishes? Dunno.....just seemed like more than the normal amount to me

Is Tureau retiring from the 23rd?

I forgot until just now that White has two challengers that are fairly serious as well. In my opinion, the rest of the 19th is pretty safe.

Who was also a Louisiana democratic party lawyer just a few years ago... I personally don't like his militaristic slant to his campaign.. We get it, you're a volunteer sheriff who loves his swat training and gear..
