Clark wins Supreme Court race
posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Marcus Clark was elected to the 4th District seat on the state Supreme Court Saturday in a light voter turnout.

With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, Clark, a Republican from West Monroe, captured some 28,521 votes to 25,495 votes for his opponent, Jimmy Faircloth. Faircloth, a Republican from Pineville, stepped down as Gov. Bobby Jindal's executive counsel to run for the Supreme Court.

Clark was elected to succeed Justice Chet Traylor, R-Winnsboro. Traylor retired from the bench in late May to pursue a legal career in private practice.

Clark's showing in his home parish of Ouachita made his election possible. Some 14,253 Ouachita voters threw their support to Clark while Faircloth pulled 5,322 votes here.
