There was only one race of local interest in the runoff elections of Saturday, November 18th, and it ended up being decided by a mere three votes with Sheketia Combs unseating incumbent John McCarty by a 171-168 margin for the District 4 Police Jury seat. 

In statewide elections, Republicans swept every major office with Nancy Landy beating “Gwen” Collins-Greenup for Secretary of State, “Liz” Baker Murrill winning the Attorney General seat over Lindsey Cheek and John Fleming outpolling Dustin Grander for State Treasurer. Jackson Parish voters overwhelmingly cast their ballots for the winners by a consistent 3-1 margin.

Three of the four constitutional amendments also voted for.

Passed:

#1 – Provides relative to timing of gubernatorial action on a bill and related matters.
#2 – Repeals certain funds in the state treasury.
#3 – Provides for an ad valorem tax exemption for certain first responders.

Defeated:

#4 – Provides relative to the use of monies in the Revenue Stabilization Trust Fund.
