Tammany Together Mayorial Forum; What Advice Would You Give To Someone New Running For Mayor?

by Leave a Comment

On April 18th, 2011, the Tammany Together Association corralled 5 Mayors from Cities across St Tammany Parish. In this segment the question is asked to the panel; “What advice would you give to a person who was new and running for Mayor?

Our 5 Mayors: seated from left to right…

  • Candice Watkins; Mayor of Covington, LA
  • Donald Villere; Mayor of Mandeville, LA
  • Peter Gitz; Mayor of Madisonville, LA
  • Louis Fitzmorris; Mayor of Abita Springs, LA
  • Freddy Drennan; Mayor of Slidell, LA

I was able to video tape this great meeting and get a chance to get close to these representatives of my home parish. In this light each one seemed much more personable, or maybe it was just my imagination or possibly just my preconceptions… Who knows? Regardless I listened to many different view points during the course of the evening and disgested what I felt was good information, therefore I am sharing this discussion. This particular video is longer than many of the others, however it contains all 5 Mayors answering this one question, so I felt there was a little leeway… Hope you enjoy.

Thank You
