Integrity is a top issue facing Jefferson Parish voters. See how judicial candidates in Jefferson Parish score on integrity when it comes to campaign finance disclosures and campaign finance reports. Then ask the candidates to pledge to join the campaign for Judicial Integrity in Louisiana.
We based the Integrity score for candidates on these three principles:
- 1. Campaign Contributions Issued
- 2. Campaign Contributions Received
- 3. Financial Disclosure Statements
BRING INTEGRITY TO JEFFERSON PARISH

METHODOLOGY
How it works: Candidates are graded on the number of critical issues for integrity listed in the candidate score card. Political finance issues are crucial to unrigging our broken system. For the sake of consistency, we treat individual integrity issues equally: calculating fewer of these critical issues gets candidates a higher score—and only when they score 15 for the whole package do they score 100 percent.
We compiled candidates’ information from their campaign websites, in interviews, or from public and private resources. Metropolitan Crime Commission, Louisiana Ethics Administration Program, Louisiana Secretary of State.
Campaigns are dynamic. We welcome your feedback—if you see a candidate’s position has changed, send us an email at info@motiontoquash.org with the new information.
