Anderson Hosts Town Hall Meeting in Natchitoches

NATCHITOCHES, La. – Democratic congressional candidate Quentin Anthony Anderson (D-Baton Rouge) held a public town hall meeting at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center in Natchitoches, marking his third campaign stop in the area during this election cycle. As Election Day approaches on November 5th, Anderson engaged with local residents, sharing his vision for a future that prioritizes change and community well-being.

Anderson opened the event by highlighting the enthusiasm of Natchitoches residents for a new direction. “This is, I think, my third campaign stop in Natchitoches during this race and each time, I’m always excited about the enthusiasm up here to do something different. And that’s what this election is about – doing something different than we’ve always done because most of us are tired of the results we’ve always gotten,” he stated.

Addressing concerns about public safety, Anderson emphasized the need for comprehensive policies beyond traditional policing. “Crime is a problem everywhere, including in Natchitoches. But I think what we also understand here in Natchitoches is that public safety goes beyond merely policing. Policing is a component, for sure, but more police or harsher tactics won’t stop the next crime. That’s where policy comes in,” he explained.

In his remarks, Anderson also focused on the importance of authentic representation in Congress. “This seat has to mean more than just having someone that looks like us. We have to elect someone who we know – when no one is looking – will fight for us. And there’s a real difference between the two.”

Saturday’s town hall marks Anderson’s final public stop in Natchitoches before the upcoming election; he has previously held campaign events at Legacy Cafe and on the campus of Northwestern University.
