In the March 31, 2022 edition of The Enterprise, we erroneously reported that Thomas Jones had been elected as the new Mayor of the city of Mansfield.
Mansfield Mayor John Mayweather (D) and candidate Thomas Jones (D), who currently serves on the DeSoto Parish Police Jury, will both be on the April 30, 2022 ballot, with early voting beginning April 16, running through April 23. Mansfield voters can vote either at the DeSoto Registrar of Voters office at 104 Crosby Street in Mansfield or at the Stonewall substation, located in the Stonewall Municipal Complex at 1746 Hwy 171. You can also call 318-872-1149 or find them on Facebook.
Jones received 626 (43%) to Mayweather’s 502 (34%). Former Mansfield Alderman Joseph Hall, Jr. (D) garnered 330 votes (23%). A total of 1,458, or 49.5%, turned out to cast their Mansfield mayoral votes. Since none of the three candidates received 51% of the vote, a runoff has been declared between Mayweather and Jones.
