Here's another name to add to the hat for the Shreveport mayor's race.
Caddo Commissioner David Cox, who represents District 10 (much of southwest Shreveport including Southern Hills and nearby unincorporated areas in the parish), told me today that he will formally announce in the next week or so that he will make a run.
Money management, he said, will be his main focus in the campaign. Talking with folks over the last six months pushed him toward the decision.
"They need somebody who they can talk to, depend on and know that they come from the same side of the tracks they do: a working man," Cox said about his hopeful voters. He plans to change his registration from Republican to independent.
So that makes five contenders: Cox, Mayor Cedric Glover, City Councilman Bryan Wooley, State Rep. Roy Burrell and Shreveporter Parker Ward. They still all have to qualify.
Burrell's staff recently scheduled an sit-down interview with me, by the way. I'll keep y'all posted.
