James Jefferson is the Shreveport City Marshal.
Here is a recent posting on his city marshal's Facebook:
Jefferson has the right as a private citizen to campaign for the candidate of his choice. However campaigning in his Shreveport city marshal uniform raises questons.
Additionally, his message is disturbing in part--"take your...side piece WHOEVER" to go vote.
The Urban Dictionary defines 'side piece" as "a girl on the side, a girl you call up at 2 a.m. and she knows what’s up, no attachments..." In other words, she's the mistress or the other woman.'
Presumably, Sheriff candidate Henry Whitehorn has blessed the posting.
