Shreveport Needs Patrick Williams.
It has been an extremely exciting month for the Patrick Williams Campaign. Since his official announcement to run for mayor at the beginning of January we have already seen an overwhelming amount of community support for his bid. The general consensus estimates that not only will Patrick Williams be an excellent mayor, but his leadership is something that the city of Shreveport desperately needs. District 8 Commissioner, John Escude eloquently stated “If you look at where we are headed we have suffered severe population decline and out[ward] migration. If you’re not growing, you’re dying”, Escude believes that a strong mayor like Williams is critical to addressing these issues and went on to state:
“It is incumbent upon us to elect the next mayor who has a vision to stop the outward migration, secure the tax base, to take care of infrastructure needs, to make us business friendly, get quality jobs here, and try to bring the school systems up a notch.”
Agreement with Williams platform is the primary driver in community support for his mayoral bid. However, his outstanding character, moral compass, and unending love for the city is what really has voters filled with excitement. When asked about his character Charlette Edwards who is the Executive Director of Ananias Inc. in Shreveport had this to say:
“Morally he is just a good guy. So you can support that. When you realize that [people you already think so much of] are actually good at what they do and want to make a difference you get really excited about supporting them, because you want to see them win.”
Friends and family of Williams could not be more excited to see Williams to lead Shreveport in a new and prosperous direction. When asked why he supported Patrick Williams, long time friend Pastor Dennis Everett Senior stated:
“Because of his heart and what he desires for the people. I’ve known him since he started in politics and he is not in it just for the position, but in order to better improve the conditions of Shreveport. I think Shreveport needs him, because he is for Shreveport.”
Even though it is relatively early in the race. It is extremely encouraging to see the outpour of love and support that Patrick Williams campaign has seen from the community. As stated by the citizens themselves, Shreveport needs Patrick Williams.
