In the 2012 election to choose a successor to Judge Bolin, three Republicans, Whitley Robert "Whit" Graves, [[Mike Nerren]], and John B. Slattery, Jr., the city judge in Springhill, filed for the post, but no Democrat entered the competition. In previous years, no Republicans would likely have filed for the judgeship. Party fortunes began slowly to reverse themselves in Louisiana early in the 21st century.<ref>Bonnie Culverhouse, "Final candidate roster," ''Minden Press-Herald,'' August 20, 2012.</ref> Nerren and Graves led the primary field. Graves then lost to Nerren in the second round of balloting on December 8, 2012, 6,412 votes (46.5 percent) to 7,390 (53.5 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, December 8, 2012.</ref>
