Tony T. Williams Follows Ancestor’s Footsteps

Candidacy for Justice of the Peace, Ward 3 in Caddo Parish

Shreveport, LA — Tony T. Williams formally announced his candidacy for Justice of the Peace, Ward 3, in Caddo Parish, pledging to bring fairness, accessibility, and accountability to one of the most community-facing judicial offices in local government.

“The Justice of the Peace court is often where people first encounter the justice system,” Williams said. “Whether it involves small claims, housing matters, or life events like marriages, the people of Ward 3 deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and impartiality. I am running to ensure this office serves the community efficiently and fairly.”

This announcement comes 150 years after his 3rd great grandfather, William J. Sullivan, ran for Justice of the Peace for Ward 6 in Caddo Parish. Sullivan was a war veteran and Masonic leader who served as Justice of the Peace from 1877-1895. Williams, who is also a war veteran and Odd Fellows leader, is looking to follow his ancestor’s example and serve the people of Ward 3.

The Justice of the Peace plays a critical role in Caddo Parish, handling small claims court, landlord-tenant matters, evictions, and performing marriages. Williams emphasized that the position should be approachable and rooted in the community it serves.

“Justice should not feel distant or intimidating,” Williams added. “It should be local, understandable, and grounded in common sense. Williams, a resident of Ward 3, stated that his campaign will focus on maintaining the integrity of the judicial process. He stressed that fairness under the law without favoritism or bias will guide every decision.

“The people of Caddo Parish gave my ancestor the opportunity to serve them and I am asking for that same opportunity… to deliver justice for the people in a consistent and ethical manner, where everyone is equal in the eyes of lady justice. ”
