Caddo Commissioner Chris Kracman was sued for defamation over comments he allegedly made concerning the Hosston truck stop. The Caddo Commission attorney has determined that Kracman is not entitled to have the Parish hire an attorney for him.
Faced with the need for substantial legal fees, Kracman has formed KRAC PAC, Inc. (a political action committee) to accept donations that can be used to pay his legal fees. The officers of the PAC are Lisa Massingill (president), James Couvillon (treasurer) and Robert Bilderback (secretary)
Kracman has retained the Stephen M. Gele' of the Bivalacqua, Gele' & Ellis law firm from New Orleans to represent him in this litigation. Gele' is a highly respected attorney who has represented public officials throughout Louisiana, especially in defamation cases.
Donations to this PAC should be made payable and mailed as follows:
KRAC PAC, Inc.
P.O. Box 1701
Prairieville, La. 70769
The maximum donation that can be made is $25,000.
"I need funds ASAP to fund my defense. I hope my supporters will assist me in this necessary, but very unfortunate ,expense. This litigation is intended to silence me as an elected official from speaking out to fairly represent my constituents in north Caddo. I am confident that I will be vindicated provided I can fund my defense. Thanks for any help." Chris Kracman
Caddo Commissioner District 1.
