A woman takes the lead of the Caddo Parish Commission
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – A woman now leads the Caddo Parish Commission.
Commissioner Stormy Gage-Watts of District 7 takes her seat as the commission president on Tuesday afternoon. Her fellow commissioners selected her to lead the commission in January alongside Commissioner Ken Epperson to serve as vice president and Commissioner Victor Thomas as parliamentarian.
Gage-Watts was appointed in 2015 and is the fourth black woman to serve as commission president in Caddo Parish history. She has been recognized for her active role in the community, winning many awards, including the 'Most Influential Public Servant Award.'
Tuesday's work session was postponed from Monday due to technical issues, and the parish said they wanted the public to know Gage-Watts was due her recognition as she officially begins her newest role.
