Two qualify for Basile Council race

A pair of Basile residents have officially qualified to run for that town’s City Council District One seat, left open by the retirement-resignation of longtime councilman Frank Ceasar Sr. This past Monday it was announced that Darrell Reed would serve as interim councilman until the election on March 25.
Ceasar had served on the council for 26 years.
The Evangeline Parish Clerk of Court announced that two candidates had qualified before the 4:30 p.m. deadline on Friday.
Those two candidates are Darrell Dwain Reed and LaToya Howze.
The Basile council race is the only race on the ballot for the March 25 election, but there will be several tax millage renewals on the ballot for voters.
