Alison and I went to the Caddo Parish Clerk of Court Office for me to qualify for the November 3, 2026 judicial election. We were thrilled when I was elected without opposition as I was in 2022. My family and I are very grateful. A big thank you to our family, friends, and supporters, who have followed us on my continued judicial journey at the 1st Judicial District Court, Caddo Parish. ~ Judge Edwin Byrd

Alison and I had a great Easter with our sons and their families. It was very "busy" with seven (7) grandchildren, but still a joyful time! Wishing our family, friends, and supporters, the best that life has to offer.

I want to thank again all the attorneys who supported me in the 2022 election, where I became a judge without opposition. If you ever want to "know" about a judge, ask an attorney-they do not hold back on their opinion. I have known the listed attorneys for many years and appreciate their professionalism and adherence to doing the best for their clients. As professionals, they also recognize that judges must be unbiased, fair and even, and above all adhere to the rule of law.
