Anthony Kenney, the former Student Government Association (SGA) President of Southern University, known for his dynamic leadership during the 2018-2019 academic year, has officially declared his candidacy for Metro Councilman of District 2 in Baton Rouge. Following his tenure as SGA President, Kenney remained actively involved in the community, dedicating his efforts to organizations like the 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Baton Rouge and contributing to legislative initiatives in the Louisiana House of Representatives.

Kenney, an esteemed Southern University alumnus, graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications, specializing in Public Relations. His pursuit of knowledge led him to Louisiana State University, where he attained a Master’s degree in Mass Communications, focusing on Strategic Communications and Public Affairs. During his time at Southern, he showcased his passion for music as a member of the renowned Human Jukebox Marching Band. Additionally, in Spring 2019, he became an initiate of the esteemed Beta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., further enriching his collegiate experience.

Kenney’s campaign is deeply rooted in a steadfast commitment to uphold progress, foster sustainable economic growth, and elevate the infrastructure within the vibrant District 2 community. Through his voting website, Kenney eloquently articulates a visionary platform that not only addresses the overarching challenges encountered by the community at large but also ensures that the distinctive needs and aspirations of constituents in District 2 are thoughtfully considered and prioritized.

“I will work to ensure that the residents of District 2 have the necessary amenities due any tax-paying citizen. District 2 is adjacent to Southern University and is home to the ever-growing Metropolitan Airport and Baton Rouge Zoo, among a host of valuable assets and historic treasures. These assets have the potential to stimulate the economy in our community,” said Kenney.

Kenney has not only emphasized the pivotal role of community involvement and transparency but has also shown a strong commitment to engaging residents in the decision-making process. His vision is to guarantee that the voices of residents take center stage in all advancements within District 2, especially during the intricate master planning phase. “My commitment is to ensure that throughout the master plan process, the community will have unparalleled access, active involvement in decision-making, and complete transparency,” he passionately declared.
