Joe Andrepont has announced his candidacy for Calcasieu Parish Police Jury District 13 seat. The election will be held on Saturday, October 12 with early voting from September 28 – October 5.

“Being in public office means that you represent the views of those who elect you. My voting record while serving on the Calcasieu Parish School Board demonstrates my commitment to being a voice for the people,” said Andrepont. “I am conservative, with pro-life values, and I believe in hard work and getting things done effectively.”

Andrepont is a lifelong resident of Sulphur. He is married to Sherri Trahan, also of Sulphur. They have three children and six grandchildren. A graduate of Sulphur High School, Andrepont attended Louisiana State University and is an honor graduate of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Louisiana-Monroe. He is a member of Our Lady of Prompt Succor Catholic Church and member and past president of both the Rotary Club of Sulphur and West Calcasieu Chamber of Commerce. Andrepont is currently employed by Westlake Chemical where he is responsible for Community and Governmental Affairs, and is a relief pharmacist for Brookshire Brothers and former pharmacy manager of K&B Drugs. Andrepont also serves on the board of directors for the West Cal Chamber of Commerce, Safety Council of Southwest Louisiana, Junior Achievement of Southwest Louisiana, and Sulphur Parks and Recreation coach.

“We are fortunate to live in a parish that has much to offer its citizens with a diversified tax base that allows for an improved quality of life for our residents. With so much opportunity and growth ahead of us, we also have significant challenges to address including traffic, drainage, and zoning issues,” said Andrepont. “I have diligently prepared to serve as a productive member of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury. Attention to detail and experience have been invaluable as a public servant. I am ready to go to work for the citizens of District 13 and Calcasieu Parish.”

District 13 includes the following voting precincts: D.S. Perkins Elementary, Sulphur Health Unit, Frasch Elementary, Frasch Park, W.T. Henning Elementary and the Ward 4 Fire Station.
