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. From knocking on doors to putting up signs in the summer heat, I had the privilege of listening to thousands of you across Ward 1. In conversation after conversation, I heard the same message. 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.
