To all my Stonewall friends, this Saturday, April 5 is election day. Amongst other things, we will be voting for mayor. There are two candidates. One of the candidates recently mailed out information about himself. He has lived in Stonewall for 15 years. Included in the mailing a list of his “qualifications.” The list was composed solely of his involvement in Caddo Parish. He has not gotten involved in Stonewall or DeSoto Parish. The other candidate, Charles Waldon, is currently our mayor. His involvement in Stonewall and DeSoto Parish includes, but is not limited to: 6 years as Road Commissioner 4 years as Council Member Original Bee Gum Committee Member President of DeSoto Parish Chamber of Commerce President of Water Works 1 Vice President of Industrial Board Board Member of DeSoto Parish Office of Community Development Board Member of DeSoto Regional Hospital Board Member of Coordinating Development Corporation Advisory Council for North DeSoto School Regularly attends North DeSoto Water & Police Jury meetings Additionally, he has worked hard and diligently for Stonewall during these last four years as mayor.
