COLFAX, La. (KALB) - A longtime community advocate in Colfax is ready to take her service to the next level.

Timika Hamilton-Price, who has served as an alderwoman since 2019, has announced her candidacy for mayor of Colfax.

Garland Brossette is the current mayor, though it remains unclear if he plans to seek re-election.

Since joining the council, Hamilton-Price has been an advocate for Colfax children, hosting events and activities to give them something positive to do locally.

She said her time in office has prepared her to step into a leadership role and continue pushing the town forward.

“Having done what I’ve done since 2019 and being an advocate for the people, I just feel it’s my time to step up, take the reins, if possible, and help get the people what they need,” she said.
