Louisiana Democratic State Party Election Updates, 2024

Thanks to the current misleadership of the Louisiana Democratic Party, Louisiana now has a Republican governor and a veto-proof Republican supermajority in both chambers of the Louisiana legislature. The upcoming Democratic State Party elections are an opportunity to breathe new energy into the Louisiana Democratic Party. At our January General Meeting, our chapter officially recommended eight state-wide DSA members as candidates for the upcoming Louisiana Democratic State Central Committee (DSCC) elections in March, and six local chapter members as candidates for Democratic Parish Executive Committee (DPEC) races. Those candidates are:

Democratic State Central Committee:

• Courtney Price (Baton Rouge DSA, 66A)
• Davante Lewis (Baton Rouge DSA, 67B)
• Jackson Voss (SWLA DSA, 31B)
• James Jeane (Shreveport DSA, 5B)
• Kai Macias (Shreveport DSA, 11A)
• Ealom “Tucker” Allen (Shreveport DSA, 14B)
• Bobby Woodruff (LA Tech YDSA, 11B)
• Benjamin Eunice (LA Tech YDSA, 12B)

Democratic Parish Executive Committee:

• Lauren Jewett (JPDEC At Large)
• Tom Stoner (OPDEC A)
• Michele Johnson (OPDEC B)
• Jack “Big Okra” R. Sweeney (OPDEC B)
• Charlie Bini (OPDEC C)
• Huey Fischer Garcia (OPDEC C)

In addition to these recommendations, our chapter will vote to endorse six of our chapter’s members for their respective DSCC races. A chapter endorsement requires a simple majority vote of at least 25% of our membership. You can review their responses in the candidate’s Q&A sessions in Drive for the video and notes. Chapter members, please check your email for an email from OpaVote.com titled “New Orleans DSA DSCC Endorsements” with instructions on how to vote. Abstentions help towards the 25% quorum requirement, so please submit your ballots before Tuesday, Jan 30th. Those candidates are:

• Laurie Herbert Constantinou (23A)
• Jack “Big Okra” R. Sweeney (23B)
• Lauren Jewett (78A)
• Miranda Burbridge (90A)
• Britain Forsyth (91B)
• Page Gleason (99A)
