WEST MONROE, La. (AP) - West Monroe Mayor Dave Norris, the only mayor many of the city’s residents have ever known, said he will run for a 10th - and final - term this spring.
If Norris wins and serves out his full term, he will have served 40 years as West Monroe’s mayor.
Norris, who was a professor at the University of Louisiana at Monroe when he first ran for the job, said he never dreamed public service would become a lifelong career.
