Demand Fair Share from Black Elected Officials

For too long Monroe, Ouachita Parish, and surrounding area Black elected officials have been elected to office by black citizens and folders for reasons other than true representation such as, being elected to office because they are educated, black, male, are female, because they are your church member, relative, frat brother, or sorority sister, religious, social, masonic, civic, or other organization member, or affiliate, neighbor, friend, schoolmate, etc. While neither of the aforementioned attributes, or considerations should be disqualified for black political candidates, or elected officials, they certainly should play a minor, or insignificant role in who blacks elect to office to serve them. The true measure and worth of a black elected official should be how much of the taxation dollars paid by black citizens in the tens of millions of dollars to local, state, and the federal governments is returned by black elected officials for the improvements, growth, and development of the districts, citizens, and communities they were elected to represent and serve. What laws, rules, call, ordinances, resolutions, statutes, practices, regulations, etc., were passed and enacted, or repealed, or revised to yield positive effects for blacks, and the black community? What did black elected officials delivered in terms of economic, business development, and black business financial assistance and participation in government contracting/ procurement for goods and services, infrastructure, street, road, industrial parks, sewer, water, drainage, recreation, community, ditch closure, jobs, social, cultural, educational, sidewalk, parks and playgrounds, traffic signals and related improvements, and developments, etc.? Black voters in citizens should demand fair share representation in the above areas from black elected mayors, council/alder persons, police jurors, School board members (City/ Parish) State senator(s) and representatives, judges, marshal’s, and other elected officials. The main reason why the white community prospers and grows tremendously it Is because of the ineffective and measurable representation they receive from white elected officials at the local, state, and national levels. Black citizens/voters should demand a true representation from black elected officials. Vote!!
