Another Nextel Employee Becomes A Politician
Cooper enters mayor's race

COVINGTON -
Mike Cooper has
officially
announced his
candidacy for
mayor of
Covington.

Cooper, 49, has
recently resigned
his management
position with
Nextel
Communications
to devote
himself full-time
to his campaign.

Over the past 20
years Cooper
has served
Covington by
coaching the
Biddy Basketball team and serving on Covington's
175-year birthday celebration committee. He served on
the committee to revise the city's Home Rule Charter,
establishing term limits for public officials and was a
10-year member of Covington's Planning and Zoning
Board.

He is a 1971 graduate of St. Paul's School and past
president of the St. Paul's Alumni Association. He is a
member of the Covington Jaycees, the St. Tammany
Home Builders Association, the St. Tammany West
Chamber of Commerce, the St. Tammany Art Association
and the American Planning Association of the Metro New
Orleans Section.

Cooper is a 1977 graduate of the University of
Southwestern Louisiana with a bachelor of science degree
in regional planning. He served as a Land Use Planner for
St. Tammany Parish Planning Department, where he was
interim director.

"My professional education and experience in city and
parish government, along with my proven leadership in
business and public service, best prepares me to serve
the people of Covington as mayor," he said.

First on his agenda, if elected, will be the resurfacing of
city streets. And, "I will seek a comprehensive plan within
the administration to repair our infrastructure without
tearing up the streets," Cooper said.
