Brittany Jorden Seeking City Judge

Asst. District Atty. Brittany Bryant Jorden announced her candidacy for Baton Rouge City Court Judge in Division C, a seat currently held by Judge Johnell Matthews. Judge Matthews will not seek re-election so the seat is open, and the election will be held Nov. 5.

“As an experienced Senior Felony Asst. D.A., I have been committed to implementing justice with compassion and integrity. As City Court Judge for Baton Rouge, I will remain dedicated to serving every citizen with excellence and experience,” Jorden said.

As an Asst. D.A., Jorden has accumulated thousands of hours of courtroom experience while handling well over a thousand cases. “I believe I have the necessary courtroom experience to serve as City Court Judge. From handling traffic cases to prosecuting domestic violence offenders, armed robberies and murder cases, all while advocating for the victims of these violent crimes, I’ve gained valuable legal experience that will enable me to serve the citizens of Baton Rouge.” She is married to Rep. William “Will” Jorden. She is a Democrat.
