Shreveport City Council races now have two Jenkins


Today marked the arrival of a second Jenkins in Shreveport City Council races.

Sam Jenkins, currently a Caddo Commissioner, will seek the seat of outgoing Council Chariwoman Joyce Bowman. That'd be Queensborough and west Shreveport's District G.

Oliver Jenkins announced more than a month ago that he is running for District B, which includes Broadmoor and parts of South Highlands. Sitting Councilman Michael Long said he won't run again.

I haven't asked yet whether the two are kin, but it will be ting to have two people with the same last name on the council should their bids be successful.

Both also have received endorsements from the current council members representing those areas.

In other District B news, Jake Toloso plans officially to announce his plans to run for the seat on Tuesday.
