Baton Rouge area attorney, E Eric Guirard, made his campaign announcement Friday, July 24. Guirard says he plans to make Baton Rouge the “next great American city” by focusing on the following five issues: Education, Traffic, Crime, Business Development and Community Relations/Quality of Life.
quote:

Guirard joins six other candidates currently in the race: incumbent mayor-president, Sharon Weston Broome, Councilman Matt Watson, Councilwoman Tara Wicker, Rep. C. Denise Marcelle, businessman, Jordan Piazza, and Frank Smith III. Qualifying for the election ends at 4:30 p.m. Friday, July 24.
quote:

“I saw the race for Baton Rouge mayor was quickly becoming a circus, so I decided we needed a ringmaster.”

Will the E get your guarantee?

Edit: This is not an endorsement, I personally think the guy is a buffoon

I'd take E over Broome, Marcelle, Carter, Smith or Piazza.

The mayor has a minimal role in education.
What’s his plan for the BRPD? What’s his stance on SG?
What about cleaning up the parish? Drainage? What’s his stance on public transportation?

I hope his music career doesn't come back to haunt him.

E'd probably have Gravy as one of his lieutenants.

This is the best Baton Rouge has to offer? Geez. How depressing.

I think E ran and lost the Lt Governor seat.

His platform is that he was going to do away with the position. Put a 'Gone Fishing' sign on the door.

Is there a resource that helps locals find information about each of the candidates? I want to be more involved in local politics but I know nothing about anyone except Broome and that Matt Watson is my metro council rep currently.

He’s already got a campaign song.

Call me when your city council president who is running for DA is under indictment for major tax fraud.

IIRC, he faced disciplinary charges for using runners. I don’t know if he was disbarred or not.

ETA: Found it.

It wasn’t runners. It was “case managers.”
