In the Shreveport mayor's race, Caddo Parish Commissioner John Paul Young is pushing for change at city hall.

Young sat down with us at KEEL News to talk about his priorities.

Young says we must do the basics right and that's not happening now.

Young wants to focus on public safety and infrastructure.

Young says Shreveport is not on the right track and we need change right away to get the job done.

And Young wrapped up our interview by urging the public to give him a chance to make the necessary changes to improve our city and keep our young people here.

Early voting runs through October 27 and election day is November 3.
