In Saturday elections in Rapides Parish, Danny Bordelon was elected to the District E seat on the Rapides Parish Police Jury. A parish-wide tax renewal for the Renaissance Home for Youth failed resoundingly.

Saturday is Election Day throughout Louisiana, and this is what Rapides Parish voters will see on the ballot.

Voters' ballots will differ based on their precincts, but there are three statewide constitutional amendments for all to consider.

There are four runoff races in Rapides Parish. Those are:

  • In the Rapides Parish School Board District G race, incumbent Kenneth Breazeale faces longtime educator Wally Fall.

  • Gary Johnson and former city council member Roosevelt Johnson are vying for the Alexandria City Council District 2 seat.

  • In the village of Forest Hill, voters will select between Glynn R. Dixon and Javier "Jay" Molinary for police chief.

  • And, in the town of Lecompte, four candidates are facing off for two seats on the board of aldermen. The candidates are Alex Baker, Michael Busch Sr., Albert "Butch" Butler and Nancy Phillips.
