The Lafourche Parish Council made history at their regular council meeting on Tuesday, January 9, 2024 as the first administration to have all previous department heads reappointed for the upcoming term.

Tonight we made history again by being the first administration to have its entire suite of department heads reappointed,” reads a Facebook post from Lafourche Parish President Archie Chaisson. “I want to thank the Council for their trust in this team. We may not always get it right but we all wake up every day and do our best for Lafourche Parish!”

The following reappointments were made:

  • Kristi Lumpkin, Director of Grants and Economic Development
  • Mitch Orgeron, Parish Administrator
  • Dillon Baronne, Director of Public Works
  • Tony Breaux, Director of Plans and Premits
  • Renita Jackson, Director of Finance
