First day of qualifying for November election holds few surprises

The first day of candidate qualifying for the November 6, 2012, election in Northwest Louisiana brought few surprises, with the possible exception of Shreveport Libertarian Randall Lord filing for  the 4th Congressional District seat held by two-term incumbent, U.S. Rep. John Fleming, a Republican, who also qualified in Caddo, Bossier, Claiborne, DeSoto and Webster Parishes today.

  Although neither incumbent U.S. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, both Democrats, nor presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his vice president qualified today, Socialist presidential candidates did.

  They are listed as James Harris and Alyson Kennedy of the Socialist Workers Party, with an address of 3300 Wickens Drive, New Orleans, LA 70131.

  In Caddo Parish, the race to watch will be the one for the District 3 seat on Louisiana's Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which is vacant due to the retirement of Judge Charles Peatross.

  District 3 includes most of Caddo Parish, all of DeSoto and Red River Parishes. Only one person today qualified for that seat, Caddo District Judge Frances Pitman, a Republican who lives in Shreveport.

  In Bossier and Webster Parishes, the 26th Judicial District seat vacated by retiring Judge Bruce Bolin has attracted three well-known candidates: attorney and former Louisiana State Trooper Whit Graves; Bossier-Webster assistant district attorney, Mike Nerrin; and Springhill City Judge John Slattery.

   Below is a listing of all candidates qualifying in Caddo, Bossier, Claiborne, DeSoto and Webster Parishes today, August 15, 2012:
