A former Louisiana lawmaker is expected to announce his bid to become mayor-president of East Baton Rouge Parish.
Ted James joined the Biden administration two years ago as a regional head of the Small Business Administration.
James announced on Wednesday that he's stepping down from the federal position next month.
Mayor Sharon Weston Broome has announced her run for reelection to a third term.
James says he won't make an official announcement until after he leaves the SBA on February 10.
