Russell named Ouachita Parish assessor by gubernatorial commission
Gov John McKeithen’s office issued a commission naming Odis Russell as Ouachita Parish assessor, effectively eliminating a general election vote since Russell had no opposition. The same process applied to the Monroe School Board seat won by Robert Kennedy in the second Democratic primary. Officials say the dispensation with the November election is allowed for special elections with no opposition. Russell will officially take the post upon receipt of the commission, likely later today. Kennedy’s commission may be signed Monday to succeed Shelby Hill on the board. A Ward 5 Ouachita Parish School Board race requires the November vote due to Republican opposition)
