Watch live as results come in precinct by precinct in the race to be Lafayette’s next mayor-president.
Early voting turnout in the runoff election for mayor-president has been similar to October’s primary. But what’s not similar is who’s showing up.
As Lafayette voters head to the polls Saturday to decide the mayor-president election, daylight has been hard to find between the two candidates on local issues.
With more than a quarter of Saturday’s voters now looking for a new candidate to support in the Nov. 18 mayor-president runoff, the race is sure to intensify in the coming weeks.
Lafayette looks to have a real race on its hands in this fall’s mayor-president election as challengers to incumbent Mayor-President Josh Guillory are showing early signs of success.
Boulet has led the Acadiana Planning Commission for the last seven years. She is the daughter of former Gov. Kathleen Blanco. Also in the race, current Mayor-President Josh Guillory and attorney Jan Swift. All three candidates are running as Republicans.
