Monroe judge declares candidacy for newly drawn Louisiana Supreme Court seat

MONROE, La. (KTVE/KARD) — On May 20, 2024, reports confirmed that Appellate Court Judge Marcus Hunter has officially declared his candidacy for the newly drawn Louisiana Supreme Court seat. Hunter previously served as an attorney for Legal Services, a Public Defender, a State Representative, and a Trial Court judge before his current position on the Second Circuit Court of Appeal.

Whether it was returning home after law school to embrace the family practice,
providing necessary assistance at legal services, representing the indigent as a public
defender, or returning to my second home in Baton Rouge as a State Representative
where I advocated for all Louisianans, the people were always the reason for my
commitment to public service and the next steps forward. This time is no different.

Throughout my career trajectory, each transition has been a strategic step, chosen not
just for the role itself, but for the unique opportunities and challenges it presented for the
advancement of our common goals. My unwavering dedication to public service has
always aligned with my professional ethics and aspirations. If so honored to be elected as your next Louisiana Supreme Court Justice, I am eager to bring my cumulative experiences and skills to the higher Court, where I pledge to contribute to a shared vision for building a lasting and impactful effort to make Louisiana better together. I will ensure equal access to justice, apply the law without fear or favor, and treat all who come before our state’s highest Court with dignity and respect.

Marcus Hunter, Second Circuit Appellate Court Judge
