J. Frank Colbert

J. H. Nelson M. D. Wren Jefferson Franklin Colbert, known as J. Frank Colbert (May 28, 1882 – May 20, 1949), was a Democratic politician and Georgist based in Webster Parish, Louisiana.

[1] he had previously and later again served on the Webster Parish Police Jury.

During the Great Depression, he became involved in the Georgist movement and published an article about its single tax proposal.

Colbert also served from 1944 to 1946 as the mayor of the small city of Minden, the seat of government of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana.

[8] Given Democratic dominance of the state, and disenfranchisement of most African Americans, who had supported Republicans, Colbert won the general election and served for two years.
