"Potch" Didier was re-elected as Avoyelles Parish Sherriff while he was IN jail.

quote:

It was the biggest trial in the parish, It was an amazing spectacle. When it was all over, Potch was sentenced to ninety days in the parish jail, meaning he would only have to serve 45 days. He ended up serving just seven days with good behavior, which he would serve in his own jail (in the parish seat of Marksville). I remember that first night he began his sentence, he cooked an andouille gumbo. He served his sentence, and eventually everything got back to normal, In fact, he was re-elected

The hooker part probably raised his poll numbers from 70% to 80%.

Not the same but Oliver Thomas went to federal prison for taking bribes while on City Council in Nola.

He got out a few years ago and was recently elected to City Council.

Edwin Edwards vs David Duke was a classic race. My first exposure to LA politics.

If the law pertained to all the frickers in DC, it would include most of them.

How about "Name a politician that was elected while under a baseless indictment besides DJT."?

For the textbook, clinical example of what's out there and voting, and proof that for the most part politicians are extensions of their constituencies, we win the prize right here, which will ring down through the ages.

With gratitude and respect to our Orleans voters and Dollar Bill Jefferson who was elected, not while he was under indictment, but after he was actually convicted for bribery.

No other voting bloc can hold a candle to that.

Intuition says that our highest law enforcement official D.A. Jason Williams probably would've paralleled Jefferson's situation had the timeline been the same.

He was found innocent, while his partner in crime was convicted. Go figure.

His legal problems were an asset to him for re-election with this bloc of voters.

Just as with Oliver Thomas who is odds-on favorite for mayor.

Lots of great things ahead for Orleans.

Trump is having legal problems because he’s going against the Deep State

Others that have gone against Deep State haven’t had a chance at re-election because they’ve been killed before re-elected

JFK, brother Robert Kennedy, McKinley, Abe Lincoln all killed by Deep State

Plenty of others have been killed too
