Template:Infobox officeholder Frank Barnett Blackburn (born February 11, 1944)[1] is a former interim mayor of Bossier City in northwestern Louisiana. As one of the two at-large members of the Bossier City Council under the mayor-council form of government, Blackburn, a Democrat, became mayor in September 1983, upon the death in office of Marvin Anding.
In August 19, 1971, Blackburn filed as a candidate for the Bossier Parish Police Jury, the parish governing body.[2] On March 15, 1980, he was elected to the city council in a special election to fill the at-large seat on the city council created by the election of [Robert Roy Adley to the Louisiana House of Representatives. In the council race, Blackburn defeated the Republican candidate, David Harold Broussard (1947-1998).[3] He then won a full council term in 1981. Blackburn was succeeded in the spring of 1984 by Donald Edward Jones, who in a heated special election defeated Marvin Anding's widow, Patricia Janelle Ball Anding (1935-2012).[4] Blackburn has long been active in the Masonic lodge.[5] He is a native of Lamar County, Texas. Blackburn and his son, Josh Barnett Blackburn (born June 28, 1970), operate Blackburn Radiator Shop, which he established in Bossier City in 1965.[6] ==References==
