UPDATED 5 P.M.: Landry challenges Duhe in DA's race; Bias has two challengers for Morgan City Council

Democrat Lori Landry of Jeanerette is challenging incumbent 16th Judicial District Attorney Bo Duhe of New Iberia.

Landry, who has served as an assistant district attorney and as a 16th JDC judge, qualified Thursday to run against Duhe, a Republican from New Iberia.

In Morgan City, two people have qualified Thursday to run for the Morgan City Council District 3 seat held by "Ron" Bias, who qualified Wednesday. The challengers are Marcelle Hoskins and Julia "Blaze" Johnson.
