Kate Oracle, a tax court judge and candidate for the Louisiana Supreme Court, appeared before the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Jan. 30 to introduce her candidacy and describe priorities for the court’s programs and administration.
Oracle said she is from DeQuincy, lives in Lake Charles with her wife and four children, and has served as an attorney for Vinton and Sulphur. “I’ve been all over,” she said of campaign travel across the district that stretches to Shreveport. Oracle said she has sought endorsements from law-enforcement leaders across the district and emphasized the Supreme Court’s role in administering funding and programs such as drug courts and veterans courts.
“If I’m fortunate enough to get elected… I will only be the second judge elected to the Supreme Court from Calcasieu Parish in a hundred years,” Oracle said, adding that the Supreme Court administers “hundreds of millions of dollars” of programs and that bringing the seat to Calcasieu Parish would help local access to those programs. She offered to answer jurors’ questions and thanked the Jury for their service.
