Just found this article: https://www.wafb.com/2020/06/09/look-whos-running-mayor-president-east-baton-rouge-parish/

quote:

WAFB has heard rumors that Jordan Piazza, C. Denise Marcelle, and Byron Sharper are considering a run. We reached out to them, but have not heard back yet.

Denise running would mean Broome is DOA. Denise has the radical black coalition, and it was her support that got Broome over the top in the previous election. Broome had already alienated most of the white collar professional whites and business crowd, if the BLM folks desert her too, she won’t make a runoff.

Denise is the worst possible candidate that could win.

Sharper is DOA due to his previous sexual assault allegations from last year. The charges were dropped, but that means nothing in the #MeToo era.

This election will come down to which candidate can get the most Chamber of Commerce honkeys to break for them in the primary. Due to Bodi’s desire to completely defund downtown, they ALL went Broome the last go around. It will be interesting to see how many stick with Broome or go to Marcelle out of fear of reprisals (Gravy drumming up fake racism allegations against their businesses) vs those who decide that Watson isn’t too “backwards” a republican to stomach. Bodi was just...the worst.
