Shreveport Mayor Tom Arceneaux and Caddo Parish Commissioner Stormy Gage-Watts will face each other in a Dec. 12 runoff after neither won a majority; Arceneaux received about 36% of the vote and Gage-Watts about 23%. Both candidates urged supporters to help them win the final round, with Gage-Watts saying she would resume campaigning.
