Published: September 21, 2023 2:30 pm Lafayette looks to have a real race on its hands in this fall’s mayor-president election. Challengers to incumbent Mayor-President Josh Guillory are showing early signs of success. Guillory is facing two opponents in the Oct. 14 primary, Monique Blanco Boulet and Jan Swift. All three are running as Republicans, and while incumbents usually have a strong advantage in local elections, Guillory’s re-election bid is showing vulnerability. Boulet has out fundraised Guillory by $52,000 since announcing her campaign to unseat him in February, collecting $272,000 in cash contributions. That puts her atop the election year fundraising competition for the mayor-president’s race, with Swift in a distant third place at $161,000 raised in this year.But Guillory has a major financial advantage over the field, as he is heading into the election with just shy of $460,000 on hand following years of fundraising as mayor-president. He has carried at least $400,000 in campaign cash since early 2022, and collected $220,000 so far this year while spending $202,000. With the primary election just over three weeks away, Boulet has $231,000, including a $51,000 personal loan to her campaign, while Swift has $68,000 remaining ahead of the Oct. 14 vote. Boulet said in a statement Tuesday that she was “humbled by the support” of her contributors and credit credited “corruption, mismanagement and taxpayer waste” under Guillory’s administration for her campaign’s fundraising success.Boulet’s fundraising lead appears to come down to three factors. The first is that campaign contributions are limited by election — not by year — meaning many of Guillory’s supporters may have maxed out during his first term. Guillory has collected $1 million from some 750 contributions since taking office in 2020. Those limits would reset if Guillory makes a November runoff election for mayor-president.The second is that Boulet has seen a larger share of contributions from outside the parish than Swift or Guillory this year. Forty-four percent of Boulet’s fundraising has come from outside Lafayette Parish, compared to 11.5% for Guillory and 2.6% for Swift. Boulet’s largest fund sources outside the parish are New Orleans (6.5%), New Iberia (5.4%) and Baton Rouge (4.2%).A campaign sign for mayor-president candidate Monique Blanco Boulet at the corner of Johnston Street and East Main Street near Downtown Lafayette. The final factor is that Guillory appears to be unpopular with likely voters. Polls this year have consistently found around 30% support for

LAFAYETTE, LA — Just one day after Josh Guillory's campaign released a false ad lying about Monique Blanco Boulet’s (R-Lafayette) commitment to fully funding law enforcement and protecting our families, a statewide police organization responded by endorsing Boulet.The Professional Association of Law Enforcement Officers — a revered organization formed to assist and support members of the law enforcement community throughout the State of Louisiana — issued a resolution containing its endorsement Tuesday. After a series of public safety missteps by Guillory, including massive cuts to public safety, law enforcement is getting behind Boulet."I'm particularly proud to have the formal endorsement from our police officers as I continue to stand with law enforcement to combat Lafayette's rising crime crisis," said Boulet. "One big reason I stepped up to run for Mayor-President is that our current Mayor-President has utilized law enforcement for personal services rather than to serve and protect our families."The decision to endorse Monique Boulet comes after careful consideration of the current challenges faced by the Lafayette City Police Department and the community. In it's endorsement, the Association noted that current Mayor-President, Josh Guillory, has taken actions disruptive to the leadership within the Lafayette City Police Department, resulting in unstable leadership with six different police chiefs in less than four years. The Association also expressed concern about the suppression of public records and a loss of public trust during Guillory's leadership. The full resolution is included below."In addition to these actions which directly affect the public and members within the law enforcement community, under Guillory's leadership the office of the Mayor-President has come into disrepute," the resolution reads.Lafayette residents have expressed concerns about rising crime and the allocation of adequate resources to address the threats. The Association acknowledges these concerns and has taken a proactive stance in endorsing Monique Boulet to bring about positive change in the community.Early voting is Nov. 3-11, and Election Day is Nov. 18.

The three candidates that are in the Mayor-Presidents race of Lafayette Parish spoke at a forum, and all echoed the same. Their top priority is to combat crime in Lafayette. Lafayette, La (KADN) The three candidates that are in the Mayor-Presidents race of Lafayette Parish spoke at a forum, and all echoed the same. Their top priority is to combat crime in Lafayette if elected. "The first half of my issue is crime. There is great concern over stability and the Police Department," said Monique Blanco Boulet."We've had 6 police Chiefs in three years, I know personally the disarray and the low morale in our police department," said Jan Swift. "First we must make sure our law enforcement officers are paid and we are doing that with the city councilmen and I'm very thankful to those guys," said Josh Guillory. In Lafayette city and parish, residents have seen an uptick in crime over the summer, particularly with shootings. Current Mayor-President Josh Guillory, says he’s working to invest 3.2 million dollars to raise police officers' pay. If re-elected, he says he plans to focus on teens, who police say are responsible for this violence. "We are bringing back what's called the juvenile assessment center and what that will do is it will...take Juveniles who maybe made some poor decisions or not just even a crime but are having trouble in school with behavior," said Guillory. Challenger Jan Swift says a significant portion of the increased crime is occurring in our city’s parks. She wants to return to having officers patrol every park in Lafayette. "The Guillory administration got rid of all the city park police and 2020, and now we have an upsurge in crime as you know we have homeless living in the bathrooms of all the parks so children and families that want to go to the parks, don't feel safe," said Swift. Candidate Boulet says the Lafayette Police Department is suffering from instability and lack of leadership. She notes there’s been a half-dozen different police chiefs under Guillory’s administration and she’s advocating for new leadership. "There's great concern over stability in the police department and our ability to really address crime as it's developing. So, that's another area that really needs stability in Lafayette’s police department,” said Boulet.

The incumbent MP, with high negatives despite major spending by his campaign. That puts him atop the primary election pile but without enough locked-in support to comfortably avoid a November runoff. Polls can be unreliable, but Guillory’s figures have been generally consistent in multiple surveys since January. The latest polls in the race back up earlier results. A Shreveport group with a connection to Boulet funded a poll from Sep. 10-12 that found her level with Guillory at 25% in the October primary, with Swift in third at 19% and 31% of respondents undecided. The same poll gave Guillory 29% in a runoff against either Boulet or Swift, with about a quarter of voters undecided. Both challengers polled near the 50% threshold for runoff victory against Guillory, with Swift at 44% and Boulet at 47%.Guillory blasted that poll on Facebook Tuesday, calling it biased and pointing to the pollster’s previous work for Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and a connection to Boulet, which he has continued to criticize in the days since. His campaign shared results from its own poll with KADN News 15 Wednesday showing the incumbent MP with 39% support in the primary, ahead of Boulet at 22% and Swift at 19%, with 20% still undecided. That poll was conducted by Remington Research from Sep. 15-17 and suggests Guillory is still likely to face a November runoff election. People close to Guillory’s campaign have privately acknowledged that a November runoff is likely unavoidable, but his campaign hasn’t yet released any internal polling on runoff scenarios to refute the Shreveport group’s results.
