Marshal Johnson

At a swearing-in ceremony held Wedneday in the courtroom of Ville Platte City Court, Horace Johnson Jr. took the oath of office as Ville Platte City Marshal to fill the unexpired term of the late Ronald T. Doucet.
“I’d like to thank everyone who came out to vote for me,” Marshal Johnson remarked after taking his oath. “I’m looking forward to working with everyone here in the community. I’m looking forward to the November 3 election.”
Marshal Johnson is running again in November in the regularly scheduled election for the position. He is running against Lisa T. Doucet, who was appointed until an election could be held, and Deputy Marshal Nicole Snoddy.
Marshal Johnson continued his remarks as follows: “I’m going to have an open door policy. I’m wishing anyone who is in need will come by and visit.”
“This is a small community, but we can work together as one and as a whole. I’m looking forward to working with each and every one of you from the youths all the way to the elderly.”
“I appreciate everyone for coming out today, and I appreciate everyone for supporting me.”
“Thank you, and God bless.”
