Patsy Ward Hoover has served as mayor of the Village of Natchez, Louisiana, since July 1, 2022. There are no public records of criminal indictments, fraud convictions, or bribery charges against her. Controversies regarding her tenure include a recall petition filed in March 2023 by two residents citing alleged violations of the Lawrason Act and a governing style they characterized as a dictatorship. This recall effort failed to secure the required number of signatures. Additionally, Hoover reported receiving a notice from the Louisiana Department of Revenue indicating an outstanding balance of over $13 million in employee withholding taxes. Her administration has also faced warnings in legislative audits regarding the village's financial condition.
