19th JDC candidates said they are trying to make voters aware of map change in election
BATON ROUGE — Candidates vying for the seat left behind by Judge Wilson Fields in the 19th JDC said they are making strides in reaching voters after the election maps were changed.
Candidates said after Judge Fields took his seat in the First Circuit Court of Appeals in March, they were already campaigning in the old subdistrict of Division O.
After the new maps were signed into law and implemented, candidate Vicky Jones said it changed everything.
"The budget that I had prior to July, we had to restructure and revamp after we became aware that the new map is what we would be following,” Jones said.
