Elections
2014
Fifteen seats on the St. Tammany Parish School Board were up for election on November 4, 2014. Incumbents for all districts were up for re-election. In uncontested races, candidates were considered elected without opposition as soon as the filing deadline passed.
Just one of the seats was contested in the election: Districts 9. Incumbent John C. Lamarque (D) of District 13 also did not file to run for re-election. Robin Mullett (R), the District 9 incumbent, was elected without opposition to the open seat. Sharon Lo Drucker (R) and Shane Hodgson (I) faced each other in the contest to fill Mullett's vacated seat.[3]
District 6 incumbent Roanne V. Tipton (R) did not file to run for re-election. Newcomers Michael C.
