State Senator Alan Seabaugh has officially announced his candidacy for District Attorney of Caddo Parish, citing a need for stronger leadership to address what he calls an escalating crime problem in the area.

In his announcement, Seabaugh said crime in Caddo Parish has reached unacceptable levels and emphasized his commitment to holding offenders accountable while protecting victims and families.

“Crime in Caddo Parish is out of control — and it’s time for real leadership that will stand up for victims, hold criminals accountable, and keep our families safe,” he added.

Seabaugh said his decision to run stems from his desire to restore law and order and ensure justice is served fairly and consistently throughout the parish.

A longtime advocate for public safety and community values, Seabaugh said he plans to bring a renewed focus on prosecution, transparency, and results-driven leadership to the District Attorney’s Office.

“It’s time to make Caddo Parish safe again,” Seabaugh said.
