Hodges' backers breathe sigh of relief with runoff secured

Former Louisiana State Police Superintendent Robert Hodges has secured a spot in a December 12 runoff for St. Tammany Parish Sheriff. Hodges captured 32% of the vote, finishing behind former Slidell Police Chief Daniel Seuzeneau, who led with 46%. Supporters gathered at Beau Chene Country Club to monitor the results, relieved that the race will proceed to a runoff rather than concluding with an outright victory for Seuzeneau.
