Democrat Sam Coleman officially kicked off his campaign for state representative last night. By the campaign’s estimate, several hundred people packed the Kappa House in midtown in support of Coleman’s campaign to replace State Rep. Rodney Hubbard (D-58th), who is running for state senate.
Among those elected officials in attendance last night were President of the Board of Aldermen Lewis Reed, Comptroller Darlene Green, License Collector Michael McMillan, Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, State Reps Rodney Hubbard, Jamilah Nasheed, and Sam Page (who’s also running for Lt. Gov.), Aldermen Freeman Bosley, Sr., April Ford-Griffin, Charles “Quincy” Troupe, Marlene E. Davis, and Sam Moore, Committeepeople Ernestine Hill, Lucinda Frazier, Columbus Edwards, Arthur “Chink” Washington, and Curtis Royston (who’s also running for State Rep. in the 61st District), and former State Representatives Louis Ford and Stan Piekarski.
