Shreveport mayor Cedric Glover lost two family members in the course of his campaign, sister Gina Denise Glover and grandfather Washington Samuel Bradford Jr.

“Their spirits would not allow me to cry or mourn for them until this leg of the journey was over,” Glover said during his inauguration address today.

“My faith tells me that their spirits are here today, that they are amongst a great communion of saints and I am certain that they are proud of me and this great city that they loved. I know this, (wife) Veronica and I and our families are proud to be here.”
