Attorney Lauren Ray Anderson Seeks District Attorney Seat in Caddo Parish Race

The District Attorney's race in Caddo Parish has drawn several contenders. One of them is Lauren Ray Anderson. She sat down with KEEL News for a full hourlong interview to talk about why she decided to jump in the races.

Anderson is a practicing Shreveport attorney. She has built a diverse legal background spanning a broad range of civil and legal practice areas, including family law, real estate, construction, and land use planning.

Anderson is running as a Libertarian Party candidate. She says she brings third-party perspective and political experience to the Caddo Parish race, having previously mounted a campaign for Mayor of Shreveport in 2022.

Her platform as a candidate focuses on reform within the local criminal justice system, accountability, and offering alternative approaches to prosecution and municipal oversight.

Anderson says if she's elected she would make big changes in the DA's office.

Early voting runs through October 27 and election day is November 3.
