The Weekly Rotary/Optimist luncheon Wednesday was supposed to be the last opportunity for voters to ask questions of the three candidates for New iberia City Marshal, but circumstances prevented that from happening. Candidate Brett Lang, who is making his third run for the office, was on hand to answer questions. But candidate Corey Porter, also a repeat candidate, was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict. Candidate Dickie Freeman, making his first run for the position, was only able to stop in for a few minutes, having left a funeral home after a death in his family. The race to fill the position was necessitated after the resignation of former City Marshal Tony Migues, who pleaded guilty to eight counts of obstruction of court records the day after tendering his resignation from the post to the Louisiana Secretary of State. Migues had been elected twice, once to the remainder of the term of longtime City Marshal “Vic” Delcambre, who died while in office, then a full term in an election in 2020. A fourth candidate in this year’s race, Joe LeBlanc, died earlier this year after qualifying fo the race. The election will be held on Nov. 13.
