    Shreveport Mayoral Race

    Ok. So the race is set. We have 11, yes 11, people running for Mayor here in Shreveport. It seems to be a fairly diverse group, including different races, genders, economic backgrounds, and experience. Most of these people I have never heard of, some of them, like Ed Bradley, I have heard of too much (his talking points on the TV where horrible).

    So if I had to vote today, I would have no idea about any of them. I am assuming there are other people out there like me, so let’s do a little research together about each candidate. If I miss (or misrepresent) any info about someone, PLEASE let me know. I want this to be as factual as I can make. Also, if there are specific issues you want to know about, let me know that too. Hopefully we can collect enough data to make a truly informed decision, no matter our politics.

    I will be updating this often as I collect more information.

    Here are the candidates:

    Arlena Acree – current city economic development director - Republican
    Vernon Adams – Retied banker - Republican
    Madjun Ali - ? – No party affiliation
    Ed Bradley – former TV executive - Democrat
    Cedric Glover – State representative - Democrat
    Jerry Jones – Attorney - Republican
    Max Malone – State Senator - Republican
    Liz Swaine – Former Mayoral Assistant - Democrat
    Wilson McMullan - ? – No party affiliation
    Henry Hodge-Bey – drug and acohol counselor – No party affiliation
    Tim Goeders - film- and movie-production company owner - Republican

    There you have it. I included websites where possible.

    Let the research begin. By the way here is a poll about the race already. I know nothing about the actual accuracy of it, but it does show Jerry Jones with a good lead. However, from what I have read, noone thinks a candidate will get enough votes and most people are planning on a run off in November.
