All of the talk about St. George has me wondering about the upcoming race for Mayor-President. Can Ted James take out SWB? And if he does, will a Ted James administration be different/better than SWB?

Getting rid of the consolidated form of government is more important than creating St George and should have been the focus for these many years.

Get rid of a mayor-president and have a president. One who is interested in helping all of the cities and unicorporated areas of the parish. Add a couple of at-large council members as well. Those who can vote for what's best for the entire parish, not just their district.

I’m just glad that I now have St. George buffering me in God’s Country from the shithole Baton Rouge so I don’t care who wins that race.

Ted James seems to recognize the black community and culture have issues.

However, he blames all of these problems on whitey, and believes only whitey's money, along with a lot of affirmative action, will solve these issues.

His politics are closer to the Squad than anything.

Ted James


Is he the same legislator who authored a bill a few years ago trying to LOWER the standard for TOPS qualifying?

Perhaps. But only marginally.

Ted James will absolutely beat SWB.

EBR isn’t very smart so his qualifications don’t matter to most. What matters are the optics. He’s a young, nice looking black man that appears to be a single father.

I really liked Tara Wicker but SWB got her removed last election.

Apparently the republicans have given up cause I haven’t heard a peep about who’s running on their end.

The governor really ought to be taking a hard look at how to get the BR/EBR city parish ran by an elephant.

The voting base is for the most part very stupid and predictable. To win, check these boxes:
Someone famous - even if just SELA famous
Someone handsome
Someone charismatic
Someone not an "old white man"

Here's a brilliant idea. Try to implement what the people of St George wanted and maybe you van get them to retract wanting to become another city. Until then...well....not my problem

Ted James is a nice guy who has spent his career working for the national democrat party.

Hard pass.

Someone help me out here - does the entirety of EBR parish still get a vote on Mayor-President? I would assume so, but no idea . . . BC it does seem a little wackadoodle to me that St. George, Central, Zachary, etc have their own mayors and if you live in BR City Limits we don’t have our own mayor.

Not sure if that would make shite here better or worse, but it’s clear that neither SWB nor James would have any interest in representing or administering the Parish Govt

He's already reached out to the SG supporter and pledge his cooperation with the transition if elected. It's not huge but better than SWB
