Cloyd Benjamin, Jr.’s message to Ward 1

Thank you for casting 3,243 votes for fairness, justice, and a court that is more responsive to the people it serves.

We can do better, and our City Court and parish have a role to play. I loved being out there with you, and I would gladly do it all over again wherever I can be of service.
