The one that exists is a check cashing and hair place I think. It's the one on Highway 14 just south of 12th

Are you trying to say that doesn’t happen?
The guy was city councilman for north Lake Charles for an extended amount of time and is an environmental lawyer.
Not hard to guess which Party affiliation he would have.
I’m not knocking the strategy I’m just pointing it out
ETA he was also endorsed by the southern poverty law center
Can’t get more dem then that

They’re seriously crying about food deserts?
There's more of a food desert southeast of town than there is in NLC and SE down 14 towards Iowa is growing. I am not talking about Morganfield since they are close to WM on 14 but south of Morganfield has a few Dollar Generals and a few gas stations.

That's more of a Calcasieu thing, not a Lake Charles thing. Lake Charles city limits doesn't have much of that. I think even the stuff in the south of the Parish is outside the city limits.

Don’t know why Lake Charles voters would take that chance but we will see…..
Sad for the state because swla was bringing in industry.
Now gotta depend on nela and meta.

They just lost Family Dollar on Broad too.
Broad St and the surrounding areas are also showing some signs of business gentrification. I am ready to hear them get pissed about that in the future if it continues.

That has nothing to do with the mayor of LC. Most new operations are parish level and several are in Cameron.
Westlake Mayor has more effect on industries due to location than LC mayor will.

1. Nic Hunter pissed off a lot of people. Again, lots of white Republicans voted against Hunter (not for Simien)
2. Incumbent fatigue.

To your point about outside money in this election-southern poverty law center
Forgot when you mentioned it earlier that I had seen this previously

Your statement suggested it happened in this race.
“It’s an easy ploy to trick conservative people in LC into voting for a Dem.”
Point out as much as you want. He didn’t or try to trick any conservative with his party affiliation. People already knew who he was.
You are grasping for an argument that doesn’t exist in this race.

Yep but you know the demographics are different SE LC so there won’t be an outcry for lack of grocery stores out there. SE LC will only continue to grow more rapidly than most any other place in LC but there isn’t the resources put towards that area.

Care to share what you know? I thought he’s done a good job dealing with hurricanes, COVID, downtown, and the lakefront area.

I said earlier I don't know what he did, specifically. I don't get into the weeds with politics much.
But the vitriol online was incredible. That I did see. And I'm not talking about black Democrat types alone.

I do too, although I don't think Marshall is going to be much different.

Most likely true but I don’t think it’s ever a good thing to potentially have the biggest city in that region get bad leadership.

If I were a commercial developer and had the contacts, I would buy this corner and get a grocery store to commit to it as an anchor for a development.

IIRC he already said he did not like the new hotel and convention center the city released plans for a few months ago. Hopefully he doesn't kill that project. The lakefront needs it.
I just hope he isn't short-sighted. Sometimes, an older person, who has served as long as he has, is the opposite of progress.

That would be really dumb. I wonder what he'd want in its place.

If you can offer me a reason (besides to win an Election) why someone who allies themselves with the southern poverty law center would label themselves as independent rather than D I’m all ears. Seems like he’s been in LC politics for a while. I didn’t say he just now figured out that trick.
As for the people of Lake Charles knowing who he is I thought better than south Lake Charles to be on the same side as SPLC but I guess I was wrong. Clearly not as conservative as people form there like to say it is.

stop.
Wilford Carter also endorsed Simien and he rejected it.
Just because some random third party endorses you doesn't mean he's allied with them.

In local races, the individual matters more than the party.
Party isn't irrelevant in local races, but it's not that valuable.
Again, Hunter pissed off a lot of white Republicans.
