I’ll have more to say about the outcomes of the Republican and Democratic U.S. Senate primaries next week, after both parties have their nominees, but I’m sending this brief post this morning as a reminder to go vote today if you haven’t already.
Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. If you don’t know your voting precinct, you can find it at this link.
I’ll be voting in the Democratic primary for Jamie Davis, who I believe would make a fine U.S. senator. If nominated, I know he will mount a respectable challenge to John Fleming or Julia Letlow.
At the local level, I’ll also vote to continue funding the invaluable East Baton Rouge Parish Library system, the vital work of the parish Council on Aging, and our amazing parks system, BREC.
If you live in EBR, I hope you’ll join me in supporting all three of those institutions.
Saturday’s elections will also include party primary runoffs for the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) and the Public Service Commission.
According to the Louisiana Secretary of State, five parishes have local runoffs on the ballots: DeSoto, Madison, Richland, St. Martin, and Vernon.
Thirty-five parishes have propositions on the ballots: Acadia, Allen, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Claiborne, Concordia, East Baton Rouge, Evangeline, Grant, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafourche, Lincoln, Livingston, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Sabine, St. Bernard, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist, St. Landry, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Terrebonne, Washington, and Webster.
Five parishes have local runoffs and propositions on the ballots: Beauregard, Jackson, Rapides, Vermilion, and Winn.
And 19 parishes have 2nd party primaries only: Cameron, Catahoula, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Franklin, Iberia, Iberville, Lafayette, LaSalle, Plaquemines, Pointe Coupee, Red River, St. Charles, St. James, St. Mary, Union, West Baton Rouge, West Carroll, and West Feliciana.
