Jerry Lafont, who has no party affiliation, has won re-election to Lafourche Parish Council District 8, winning 54 percent of the 2,389 votes cast during Saturday’s runoff election.


His opponent, Gary Champagne, Democrat, scored 46 percent of votes cast.

Lafont attributed his win to his work as chairman of the council over the course of his previous term. He said councilmen with new ideas are joining the parish council, noting he is looking forward to working with them.
