THREE CANDIDATES SEEK DIVISION B JUDGESHIP IN 12TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

AVOYELLES PARISH, La. — The race for Division B of the 12th Judicial District Court is drawing significant attention as three candidates seek to earn the support of voters across Avoyelles Parish.

Candidates Barry Laiche, Kirk P. LaCour, and Wesley Elmer have each announced their intentions to serve as District Judge and have begun presenting their qualifications, experience, and vision for the future of the court.

The Division B seat will be one of the most closely watched local races during the 2026 election cycle. The successful candidate will be responsible for presiding over a variety of legal matters, including criminal, civil, juvenile, and family court proceedings.

Throughout their campaigns, the candidates have emphasized themes such as integrity, fairness, experience, impartiality, public trust, and commitment to justice. As election day approaches, voters will have opportunities to hear directly from each candidate through public forums, campaign events, and community engagement efforts.

Residents are encouraged to research each candidate's background and qualifications before casting their ballots.

La Vérité d’Avoyelles will continue following the Division B race and providing readers with candidate profiles, election updates, and coverage of campaign events throughout the election season.
