MANSFIELD — In this episode of News Man Weekly, host and Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell is joined by three leaders of the Mansfield Chapter of the NAACP, including President Alomar Davenport.
In addition to Davenport, also joining the show from the local NAACP are Eli Jordan, chairman of the youth chapter, and Victoria Pounds, the local chapter’s community coordinator.
The recent NAACP “Town Hall” session is one of the topics for discussion during the show, including Alomar’s call for the city’s Police Review Commission to be revamped and strengthened through an initiative petition he hopes to land on the voting ballot in 2026.
Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey in discussing all of the activity and improvements in Mansfield City Parks; a lackluster voter turnout in last week’s primary election; and the fact tech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy was in Mansfield last week, just one day before the state Republican Party endorsed him for governor in 2026.
As always, News Man Weekly brings you local news and policy discussions with clarity and purpose, helping you stay informed about the issues shaping your community—and it all pairs perfectly with a cup of great coffee from our friends at Relax, It’s Just Coffee.
