Apr 23 STORMY GAGE-WATTS SUSPENDS MAYORAL CAMPAIGN

In a Face Book post Caddo Commissioner and mayoral candidate Stormy Gage-Watts announced that she is suspending her campaign immediately.

Her post is below.

Stormy’s mayoral campaign has not gained any traction, and most politicos say what momentum she had after her announcement has all but evaporated.

She still has the problem of no residency in the city limits.

The qualifying dates of July 29-31 are far off, so a temporary suspension has little to no impact at this time.

Gage-Watts has a history of theatrics, matched only by Shreveport councilwoman Tabatha Taylor.

One can expect her campaign to resume when she will not be sharing media attention with the unfortunate tragedy and resulting prayer vigils and public outcry over this event.
