Carl Redman is executive editor of The Advocate.
Before being named executive editor in 2007, Redman was the newspaper's managing editor after spending nearly 17 years with The Advocate's Capitol news bureau covering state government and politics.
Redman has been at The Advocate since December 1980. In addition to state government and politics, Redman has reported extensively on the Louisiana economy, on higher education, on local government and on tax issues.
Before coming to The Advocate, he worked for weekly newspapers in the New Orleans area as well as for daily newspapers in Slidell, Alexandria and Shreveport.
A little more than a year ago, Baton Rouge Mayor-President Kip Holden was basking in the glow of a primary re-election victory. In October 2008, Holden easily returned to office with 71 percent of the vote. But Holden’s enormous popularity was not enough to win voter approval of his “economic development” and infrastructure tax/bond package a few weeks later.
