Dont let yourself be corrupted like all the others already in office here. Please for Christ sake stop all the development, especially the apartments. Do your best to get Brister out of office and oppose her at every turn.
Brister is parish wide, not Covington in an of itself (although she will have to be dealt with as the parish president...and she needs to go). As for the corruption, you will have to enlighten me. Parish wide...sure thing, in Covington...not so much (at least that I am aware of).

Stay strong and don't get corrupted.

As the CCC HOA graveyard patrol officer, you have my support.

Covington desperately needs some better zoning. They need to decide what kind of town they want to be. Do they want to continue being a sleepy suburb, cute small town for antiquing, or do they want to develop into a small city with a more urban core? Right now, the development seems random and unplanned. It creates an area with massive traffic, sprawl, drainage, and housing shortage issues. Covington could really be something truly special with the right zoning plan (think The Woodlands).
I think you could do something really interesting if you start crafting a draft of such a plan. Include plans for road improvements, discuss annexing more areas, areas where multi-family or mixed use should be allowed/not allowed, maybe ordinances for how commercial buildings should look facing the street to create a consistent identity, plans to reform permitting departments to make things easier for businesses, incentives for certain types of businesses to start-up or relocate to Covington, a downtown master plan, etc.
By focusing on specific issues and having a better looking plan than your opponents hosted on a professional looking website, you could quickly make yourself out to be a formidable, legitimate candidate.
If you'd like to talk about it more, email me at bryndenblackfish@yahoo.com
I'm currently unemployed and have way too much time on my hands.

What kind of public contracts can you hook me up with Baw? That’ll help me figure how much I can write you in campaign contributions.

LOL...every time I look out my front office window, one of your big-arse signs is staring at me from across the street.
No worries, though. I’d vote for a good ol’ baw, if I could vote in Covington elections.

I have a question? Does the horn on the water tower still blow at noon everyday?

Congrats on becoming Mayor Fat Man. We have a wonderful city with a small town feel (despite the traffic). I wish you the best for your time in office.

Congrats.
Damn, that is a long campaign to be mayor.

My brother ran for mayor and had never been in politics. He ran a great against a sitting councilman as well who had the backing of the prior mayor. I advised him to go to as many houses by walking the street as he could not wants but twice. He won the election by a 2 to 1 margin. Just a suggestion.
