VIDEO: State Senate Candidates

By Antonio D. French

Filed Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 5:25 PM

Two of the five candidates running for an open 4th District state senate seat, and representatives of two others, addressed a meeting of 15th Ward residents last night.

Former State Rep. Derio Gambaro and former 22nd Ward Ald. Kenny Jones told the audience about their past accomplishments as elected officials. Jones also spoke of his experience as executive director of the City's Civil Rights Enforcement Agency -- a position he was fired from after he "had an altercation" with his boss, Mayor Francis Slay.

State Rep. Amber Boykins was represented by her mother, former License Collector Billie Boykins. "She called me at the very last minute and said 'Mommy, I need you,'" said the elder Boykins. Jeff Smith was represented by 15th Ward resident Susie Anderson Bower.



State Rep. Yaphett El-Amin did not attend and did not send a representative. Both El-Amin and Boykins were presumably stuck in Jefferson City on business.

Also in attendence were two candidates for another hotly contested race, but one which does not include any parts of the 15th Ward. Jamilah Nasheed and Shaun Simms (husband of Amber Boykins) were both in the audience.
