BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Jeff Hughes is a Judge on the First Circuit Court of Appeal
here in Baton Rouge. He says he's the most experience with 22 years on the
bench. He is a former district court judge in Livingston Parish and he says
that experience will propel him to the Supreme Court.
"I have a very worthy
opponent," says Hughes. "However I think experience will be the key issue in
this race. I've been a judge for 22 years which is longer than my opponent. But
more importantly I was a district judge for 14 of my 22 years where I actually
tried cases, jury trials, criminal trials, also family court and juvenile cases
which my opponent has not."
Hughes along with his opponent says he will not run a
negative campaign because he says each candidate should just promote themselves
and not tear down one another. "If you actually do something then you have that
experience," says Hughes. "You can read about it, you can watch it on TV, but
if you actually pick a jury as a lawyer, or you've actually conducted a murder
trial as a judge I think that gives you experience that you cannot get any
other way."
Hughes says he will concentrate on East Baton Rouge Parish
voters but also says he will visit all eight parishes. He's a Republican and
thinks that will help his campaign.
