LIVINGSTON, LA (WAFB) -
For the first
time in 35 years, Livingston Parish will soon have a new sheriff without the
last name Graves.
Chief
Deputy Jason Ard took the largest chunk of the votes, winning with 61 percent.
"We've
been in a marathon," Ard said. "We've been running hard. My
supporters, family, campaign staff all my volunteers showed up and we took it
home."
His closest
challenger was former state trooper Mickey McMorris.
Ard said he
already has one change he'd like to make within the sheriff's office.
"This
parish is growing tremendously and the population is up 130,000 people and we
need more deputies on the road. I'm going to work hard to do that and do
everything in my power to get that done," Ard added.
