In the late 1940s, he moved to Newellton with his wife, Patricia Preis, to whom he was married for sixty-seven years until his death. There he engaged in business and served seven terms as mayor. After numerous election cycles without opposition, Preis was unseated in the fall of 2000 by Alex Davis, an African American who received 366 votes (56.8 percent) to Preis' 184 (28.6 percent), and 94 votes (14.6 percent) for a third candidate, F. A. "Coonie" McVay.A Mississippi River delta town, Newellton acquired a large majority of black voters after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. From 1976 to 1977, Preis was the president of the Louisiana Municipal Association. He was known for trips to Washington, D.C., from which he often secured such projects as water or sewer systems for his community.
