Tarneshala “Niki” Cowans seeks re-election to District 5 Police Jury

My name is Tarneshala “Niki” Cowans and I am seeking re-election as the District 5 representative to the Jackson Parish Police Jury (JPPJ). I have served on the Police Jury since being appointed in 2018 and elected by the voters of District 5 in 2020.

During my tenure, I have served as Chairperson of both the JPPJ Policy and Personnel Committee and Finance Committee and am currently Chairperson of the Veteran’s Committee. My goal is to continue to work diligently to improve the community that we live in.

I am married to Tyrone Cowans and together we have three daughters. I graduated from Grambling State University in 2003 with a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice and have been a Legal Assistant for Attorney Yumeaka Robinson Washington for 10 years. I also am Director of the youth organization MPAC, Making Provisions for All Children, Inc.

My daily scripture is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you. I plan to give you hope and a future.“

For any questions I can be contacted at tarneshala@gmail.com or by calling to (318) 533 – 3301.
