About this race

Two Republicans qualified for this open seat on the November 3, 2026 ballot: Michele Moore Echols and Cameron Mary; voters choose one, per the Louisiana Secretary of State's certified candidate list for St. Tammany Parish. The seat opens because sitting Division E Judge William H. Burris was elected to the Louisiana Supreme Court, per the Era-Leader. Every voter in Washington Parish and St. Tammany Parish elects this seat, since Louisiana district judges are elected district-wide across the 22nd Judicial District (La. R.S. 13:477).

What this office does

Trial court judge. A trial judge presides over criminal and civil cases at the first level: bail and pleas, motions, trials, sentencing and civil judgments. Judges are bound by state law and appellate precedent and are barred by judicial conduct rules from campaigning on how they would rule. Most states elect trial judges on a nonpartisan ballot; the term and the courts a judge may sit on vary by state.

This list comes from official election records but may be incomplete. It can miss, for example, late or petition candidates and some city, school and district races. Your official sample ballot is the final word.
