Statement Issued in Response to Louisiana Supreme Court Denying Appeal

The Louisiana Supreme Court has denied our request for an appeal and now a new
election will have to take place for the Sheriff’s race. What this means is that John
Nickelson, the Republican attorney with zero law enforcement experience, has
successfully gotten an election overturned, and he did so by misleading the people of
Caddo Parish.

He misled them into thinking two people voted twice for me. But the facts are that the
two people who voted twice were both registered republicans who served in leadership
positions for the Republican Party.

He also misled them into thinking there were people who cast votes under the names of
dead people. But the facts are that there were several individuals who freely, rightfully,
and legally mailed in their ballots, but unfortunately, passed away before Election Day.

Now, the people of Caddo Parish have a job to do. We must send the message that we
will not sit back and allow anyone to overturn an election simply because they are
unhappy with the results. I was always taught that the person with the most votes wins,
even if that’s by a thousand votes or by one vote. One vote does matter, and he should
not be given a redo just because he only lost by one.

I won the Sheriff’s Race in the run-off on November 18, 2023.

I won the Sheriff’s Race after a recount on November 27, 2023.
I look forward to winning for the third time in a new election and becoming the next
Sheriff of Caddo Parish.
