CARSTENSEN FILES ELECTION CHALLENGE ON HIS DISTRICT B RACE

James Carstensen was a candidate for the Shreveport City Council District B. He finished third in a recount to Gary Brooks and Mavice Thigpen-Hughes.

Yesterday (Thurs.) Carstensen filed litigation in the Caddo Clerk's Office requesting that the results of the Nov. 8 primary election in Caddo Parish not be certified.

The litigation filed by attorney Patricia Gilley names as defendants Mike Spence Caddo Clerk of Court,
