I had the privilege of being with Judge Blair Edwards yesterday as she qualified to run for the Louisiana Supreme Court. Blair has served Livingston Parish with integrity and a passion for people for more than 18 years in the 21st JDC and now on the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals. I wholeheartedly support her candidacy. She will serve us well as a Supreme Court Justice.
Republican First Circuit Court of Appeal Judge Blair Downing Edwards announced today that she will run for the Louisiana Supreme Court, District 1 in the upcoming special election to fill the seat being vacated by Justice Will Crain, who was recently confirmed to serve as a federal judge.
