Republican state Senator Alan Seabaugh is launching a campaign for district attorney in Shreveport, with an official announcement scheduled for October 14, 2026, at 2 p.m. The announcement will take place at Superior Mexican Grill in Shreveport and is open to the public.
Seabaugh, aged 58, aims to unseat the current Caddo Parish District Attorney, James E. Stewart Sr., a Democrat who has held the office since first being elected in 2015 and was reelected in 2021. In Louisiana, district attorneys serve six-year terms.
Seabaugh has identified crime as the primary concern among residents of Shreveport. This focus on crime has intensified due to the recent request by Governor Jeff Landry for President Trump to send National Guard troops to patrol the streets, indicating a growing concern regarding public safety in the area.
Throughout his political career, Seabaugh has developed a reputation as a combative conservative during his 14 years in the state House and his initial term in the state Senate. During his 2023 Senate election campaign, he received endorsements from prominent figures, including Governor Jeff Landry and U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson. Notably, Seabaugh and Johnson previously served together in the state House before Johnson’s transition to Congress.
Seabaugh’s Senate District 31 encompasses parts of 10 parishes, with around 70% of its population residing in Bossier, Caddo, Natchitoches, and Sabine parishes; other parishes included in District 31 are Bienville, DeSoto, Rapides, Red River, Webster, and Winn.
Details about Seabaugh’s campaign will remain confidential until his official announcement, which is anticipated to outline his vision and strategy as he seeks to challenge the incumbent district attorney, Stewart.
