Other candidates registering for the Jefferson Parish ballot on the second day of the three-day qualifying period were:
•19th Senate District — Garrett Monti of Luling, general manager of Quality Cleaning Equipment & Supply. So far he faces state Rep. Gary Smith of Montz for a seat now held by the term-limited Joel Chaisson of Destrehan.
•54th House District — Micah Hebert of Cut Off, a Marine Corps Reserves sergeant. His only opponent to date is the incumbent, Gerry “Truck” Gisclair of Larose.
•2nd Parish Council District — Pat Jones of Metairie, a retired lawyer, who joined a race that already had attracted the candidacy of Harahan City Councilman Paul Johnston. The incumbent, Elton Lagasse, may not seek re-election because of term limits.
