IMPORTANT Upcoming Judicial Election 3/26...

Please pay attention to this month’s district court judge election - whoever is elected will not only take the seat of a highly respected retiring judge but will also hold a position to impact the current rise of violent crime in EBR. The events in broad daylight at the Mall of LA and the cycle of releasing these criminals back on the streets with taps on the wrist should be incentive enough to get you to the polls.

I urge you to do your own research, but here’s what I’ve found regarding all three candidates:

Jordan Faircloth:
LSU Law grad. LSU Baseball player. In defense litigation for 15 years - currently at Taylor, Wellons and previously at Brezeale, Sachse. First time running for office. Message is that he would hold position as a public servant and not a politician. Has expressed the judicial system is outdated and needs someone with the energy to make the necessary changes. This vote would be putting your money on a young buck to shake up the system.

Jenn Racca:
Southern Law grad. Has most name recognition. Message is that she’s the only candidate with criminal litigation experience - though for the last six years she has been a benefits consultant for an insurance company. Appointed to Metro Council in 2020. Controversial council decisions/involvement I’ve found: the apartment complex currently being built behind the Walmart at Bluebonnet and Burbank which will directly impact flooding potential for Springlake/Fairhill and the division of Tommy Spinosa’s Rouzan acreage leading to additional traffic impacting Southdowns. This vote would be giving a promotion to a current council member.

Brad Myers:
LSU Law grad. Retired attorney with 30 years at Kean Miller. Long resume of law achievements. No clear message on how he will improve/change the court system. Backed by “establishment” BR crowd who typically have their hands in political matters. Important to note that he may be limited to only one 5-year term because of his age (65 years old) aka he would be a short-term solution to the seat. This vote would be for those who are satisfied with the current system and not necessarily looking for changes in the judiciary.

Again, please do your research. The financial reports for each candidate are public record and also provide great insight into the people/businesses supporting each candidate.
