IMO she would be a better mayor than Broome, but I'm not sure if she'll be as good as Kip.

I'd much rather her than Broome if those end up being our choices.

What are her policies? What platform is she running on? Does she value law and order? Does she actually want to improve the city, or does she just want a paycheck?
And most importantly, has she paid her damn taxes?

This is a huge development. Having two black candidates in the primaries like will get Watson into a runoff and force Broome to defend her record and spend more money before the runoff.

Of the blacks on the metro council, Wicker is by far the most reasonable one.

Why can’t BR elect a good Mayor?

You just confused the frick out of Mayor Broome.

Her immediate response: “ what about paid luncheons? What about paid trips to the salon? What about my new Navigator? Will I get new sidewalks in my neighborhood ? I thought that is what the people wanted?”

Because the majority of people who show up to vote in EBR Parish don’t want to or don’t know how to elect good people.

Gravy is on Broome’s payroll, so...

She’s being propped up as symbolic opposition to prevent a Republican in the runoff. SWB will win re-election.

She hates Gravy so that’s a plus
