Baton Rouge’s new mayor-elect, Sharon Weston Broome, introduced the leaders of her transition team—attorney Donna Fraiche and the Rev. Raymond Jetson—this afternoon.

Fraiche is a partner with Baker Donelson and one of the state’s foremost experts in health care law. Jetson is pastor of Star Hill Church and president and CEO of MetroMorphosis, a nonprofit organization that is tackling problems plaguing the inner city.
MetroMorphosis

On April 16, 2016, MetroMorphosis convened more than 250 people for the Urban Congress on African American Males in Baton Rouge. Attendees included elected officials, community leaders, members of the clergy, businessmen and women, college students and Black men from all walks of life. Delegates actively participated in several activities led by trained facilitators to understand which issues affecting Black boys and men need to addressed and what programs and structures are currently in place to assist with this endeavor.

Raymond Jetson, an African-American pastor in Baton Rouge who was a state lawmaker during Duke's tenure, said Duke can potentially thrive with the national political scene currently so divided. "You have a climate that ... highlights and stresses the divisions within us, a climate that in so many ways has a strong racial overtone and challenge to it," Jetson said.

No position for Gary? Sounds like a bunch of white plants, if you ask me.

I read the comments on every news story about Mayor Elect Broome, and I'm just going to tell you there are some HATEFUL folks in this parish. Some folks going to hell just because you have so much hate in your heart. She stepped up today within 48hrs and showed she's ready to get the ball rolling. I could say more, but I'm going to be reserved today... Gary Chambers

Unfortunately, when anyone criticizes that majority in any way, they're deemed traitors to their race, so don't expect the mayor to critique her base in any way, shape, or form.

I fully expect either Broome, one of her advisers or team member will get caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
We may have the next Gentle Lady right before our eyes and don't even know it ... yet.

Sounds like the Obama administration.

The position is Mayor-President - EBR Parish was still majority white as of the 2010 census.

Baton Rouge has been slowly becoming the next New Orleans......this will only serve to hasten that transition.
SO glad I don't live in that shitty city any longer.

Dude, you live in Ascension parish. This doesn't affect your well-being whatsoever.

They could also think about not breaking the law. That would be cool.
