| Glover and wife, Veronica Glover, at the April re-election event. |
Just when I thought Mayor Cedric Glover forgot to invite me to his official re-election party, which is Thursday, I got an e-mailed press release this afternoon. Granted, that's about a week after at least one other reporter received this (nicely designed, I might add) mailed invitation.
The "Jazz & Jambalaya" event is set for 5:30 p.m. at the Barnwell Garden & Arts Center downtown. Shreveporters are invited, according to the news release, for free food and drinks. And that'll be paid for by the Cedric B. Glover Campaign Committee. Parking, also at no charge, is available at the city garage across Clyde Fant Parkway from Barnwell and next to Sci-Port: Louisiana's Discovery Center. The campaign also will pay for shuttle service.
Burnadine Anderson, who put in quite a few years talking to the media for Caddo schools, is Glover's campaign coordinator. (She's retired.) Anderson's also sitting as a "citizen" on the mayor's airport task force.
Michael Corbin, director at Barnwell, is running for City Council District D. He also sells life insurance. Barnwell has had a Thursday night jazz concert series this summer.
If you'll remember, Glover already announced his campaign back in April. That meeting was billed as a big announcement for Mardi Gras, but what was offered was a vague promise to keep Carnival celebrations in Shreveport. No other local politicians are really pushing to send the parades back to Bossier City. That was one of many highlights he listed among accomplishments since winning an office on Government Plaza's second floor.
So we'll see what tomorrow and the rest of election season brings. Candidates qualify (i.e. officially register) to run next week. That's when we see who's serious.
