Cedric Glover is the only candidate for State Senate District 39 that is actively seeking to establish NJCAA football and the return of the Southern Shreveport Jags to Southern University-Shreveport. For the two seasons the Southern Shreveport Jags played here in Shreveport they were the only Junior College football team in all of Louisiana. Dozens of young men got the chance to pursue their athletic dreams while receiving a high quality education.

As the next state senator, Cedric will provide the leadership needed to return the Southern Shreveport Jags to both the classroom and the playing field.

Cast your early vote for #50 Cedric B. Glover! Leadership That Fights For Shreveport-Bossier!!

Currently as one of our state representatives, Cedric Glover is delivering real resources and opportunities both in and outside of his present district at an unprecedented and history making level. If given the chance to become our next senator, he will do even more.

During the recently televised KTBS forum for Senate District 39 the candidates were given 30 seconds to answer the following fourth and final question:

“Name the top project for this region that you have personally taken the lead role in delivering to Northwest Louisiana.”

Glover’s quick answer was a mix of both old and new projects he’s led that included $3.7 million for renovations to the Hirsch Coliseum, $30 million from back in 1999 to construct the SkyBox and renovate Independence Stadium and $75 million for the new, fully funded downtown state building.

Had he been given more time, Glover would have detailed much, much more. From securing state funding for neighborhood street and drainage repairs to economic development related infrastructure improvements that will help our region to better compete for high quality, well paying jobs.

The list from just this current legislative term includes the following:

*$75 million for the new and fully funded Northwest Louisiana State Building

*$41 million for infrastructure upgrades and bridge repairs within the Shreveport Healthcare and Innovation Corridor

*$16.6 million to repair and renovate the Professor Louis M. Collier Science Building at SUSLA

*$8.7 million towards constructing a new gymnasium at SUSLA

*$8.375 million for streets and drainage within the University Park Subdivision

*$3.55 million for renovation and improvements to the Hirsch Coliseum

*$2.34 million for a new east side entrance to the Louisiana State Fairgrounds

*$2.12 million to extend the Bert Kouns Industrial Loop at Greenwood Road into the 313 acre Resilient Technology Park

*$700,000.00 to continue funding Project Swim, an effort started in the aftermath of the tragic drownings of the six Stewart and Warner children that has provided over 18,000 free basic water safety and introduction to swimming lessons to the children of Northwest Louisiana

*$150,000.00 to the Village of Gilliam, LA to convert a donated building into a Community Support Facility

*New state-of-the-art Shreveport based Office of Motor Vehicles

Let’s keep Cedric fighting for us by electing him as our next Senator from District 39!!!

I spent my last year as a member of the Shreveport City Council helping to shape and mold the April of 1996 Bond Proposal. It was 10 separate propositions that totaled $119 million. It was opposed by both rich and poor as well as Black and white.

Six of the ten propositions passed for a total $105 million in total projects. The lessons I learned then are what helped my administration in 2011 to pass the largest bond proposal in the history of the city with all three propositions totaling $175 million passing with over 60% voting in favor.

Those same lessons guided me as I secured over $158 million in state funding this past legislative session, including $75 million for a new downtown state building.

?
There are at least 158,535,000 reasons for why I am running for Louisiana State Senate District 39. This number represents the amount of funding I requested, fought for and secured during the recently concluded legislative sessions. This number also represents funding for projects both in and out of House District 4. All of it is intended to help make Shreveport-Bossier a better, greater and safer place to keep and bring our children home.

Of this $158,535,000.00, only the $75,000,000.00 for the new Northwest Louisiana State Building is fully guaranteed. The balance of the funds will have to be fought for through the state bond commission process and in subsequent legislative sessions. This is just one of the reasons why I seek to return next year to the legislature’s upper chamber where I will be positioned to achieve a greater good for Shreveport-Bossier.

There is also a substantial list of bills I introduced and advanced in recent years that are proving to be beneficial to our region like HCR 24 of 2019 which is leading to the first ever law school in North Louisiana and HB 885 of 2018 which increased funding for Ochsner LSU Hospital by over $41 million dollars per year.
