Avoyelles Parish Solid Waste Information
Click below to see the numbers for yourself.
LET ME HELP OUR COMMUNITIES. LET’S GROW AVOYELLES PARISH.
As a life-long resident of Avoyelles Parish, I am committed to making the parish a place where families can flourish and kids won’t have to move away to find a job. With my experience as an entrepreneur, I know how to create jobs and opportunities. I’ll work hard in Baton Rouge to grow our job base and give every one of us a chance to succeed.
LET’S STOP WASTEFUL SPENDING
Politicians in Baton Rouge are risking our future to fund their wasteful ways. I will use my knowledge as a successful job creator to force government to live within its means, cut our taxes and give the citizens something back for their tax dollars.
I SUPPORT OUR SCHOOLS
I know firsthand the schools in Avoyelles Parish and across the state. I understand the importance of giving parents and students the chance to achieve their dreams. I support giving every student a strong start, high expectations, effective teachers and quality schools.
I WANT TO PRESERVE OUR WAY OF LIFE
My Christian values guide me every day. I am pro-life and committed to protecting the rights of the unborn. As a sportsman, I will defend the Second Amendment and will fight to protect the rights and culture of our community.
Honored to present a resolution from Governor Jeff Landry at the unveiling of the Solomon Northup statue in Marksville.
A meaningful moment recognizing local history, resilience, and the stories that helped shape Avoyelles Parish and our state. Proud to be part of this tribute and grateful to everyone who made it possible.
If you get time, I encourage you to watch or read “Twelve Years a Slave.” It tells the powerful, true story of Solomon Northup, his life as a free man, his kidnapping into slavery, and his perseverance to regain his freedom. It’s a sobering reminder that freedom is never something we can take for granted; it must be protected, defended, and passed on to future generations.

I had to read the book at LSUA. I was very lucky to have Dr. Eakin as my Louisiana history teacher. Oh the knowledge she imparted to us about Louisiana was awesome. She is the reason I love Clementine Hunter. A funny thing was when I took the class she showed a slide show (yup slide show) about different aspects of Louisiana. There was one of her slides that showed Avoyelles Parish people butchering a pig and making red boudin. I thought the girls sitting behind me were going to run out. Haha. I could hear them saying it was gross and they got real squeamish. Wow! Oh and one other note on Dr. Eakin she authored the textbook we used in her class. How I wish I would still have it just for memory sake if nothing else. I would imagine she she was smiling down on Solomon Northrop’s statue when it was unveiled.
Great presentation!
Great Tribute!

Louisiana families know all too well the devastation caused by drugs and the violence that follows.
The arrest of Nicolás Maduro, long accused of narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking, is a step toward holding those who fuel the drug trade accountable.
Thank you Donald J. Trump for decisive leadership that puts American safety first. 🇺🇸

Not defending Maduro but this is the start of a war. Without congressional approval. This is wrong. You are wrong for defending it.
While illegal drugs (and the misuse of legal drugs) wreak havoc through the U S, and assuming removing the Venezuelen president may limit importation, one has to wonder if a land attack on a country and capturing its president, is truly about a war on drugs, especially considering Trumps recent pardon of the Honduran president, actually convicted of importing 400 tons of illegal drugs, and considering Trump’s repeated references to Venezuelan oil, even after the attack on FOx this morning.

As a State Representative, I want to be clear about how this surplus was achieved.
The State Treasurer does not vote on tax policy, does not pass legislation, and does not set the state budget. Those responsibilities belong to the Governor and the Legislature.
Louisiana’s surplus is the result of the Governor’s tax reform proposals, bipartisan legislative action, and responsible budgeting by the Legislature and the administration working together.
Louisiana’s voters deserve clarity, transparency, and the truth about how results are achieved.I have refrained from commenting on Treasurer Fleming’s attempts to capitalize on Legislative and gubernatorial successes, but I think this post is the final straw for me.
From trying to take credit for local capital outlay projects to now trying to take credit for the state’s surplus, John Fleming is in no way shape or form the reason for our quarter of a billion dollar surplus.
The state’s surplus is a result of Governor Jeff Landry’s tax system overhaul, the Legislature, both Democrats and Republicans, implementing the policy along with responsible budgeting by both bodies and the administration.
I’m glad the Treasurer shares in our collective enthusiasm and look forward to the Governor and legislature bringing future successes to our state. ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Please use the surplus wisely to continue to lower the taxes on families.
Lower the Sales Tax....and do something for the workers! Highest in this nation.

A great evening at the historic Hotel Bentley with President Rousse, LSUA, and community leaders.
Strong partnerships make a strong region.

Very cool! Beautiful hotel!
Thank you for your support of LSUA! 💜💛
Today was a special day.
We broke ground on the new Avoyelles Community and Educational Complex, a project that represents years of teamwork, vision, and commitment to investing in our parish. This facility will serve students, families, and the broader community for generations to come, and it is only possible because of the strong partnership between the Avoyelles Parish School Board, local leaders, and the people of Avoyelles who continue to believe in progress.
A special thank-you to all of my legislative colleagues who helped me bring this idea to fruition. Your support made today possible.
And as a sidenote, it was great to see our architect and contractor—both Avoyelles natives who have gone on to successful careers—back home contributing to such a meaningful project.
Stay tuned—our next groundbreaking for the new Sports Complex is coming soon. Big things are happening in Avoyelles!

Louisiana becoming the first state in the nation approved for over $1.3 billion in federal BEAD funding is a major victory for our state and for every community still waiting on reliable high-speed internet. This milestone moves GUMBO 2.0 forward and puts us one step closer to connecting every home, business, and school in Louisiana.
Access to broadband is access to opportunity—whether it’s education, healthcare, workforce development, or economic growth. This investment will have a long-term impact on rural parishes like mine and on the entire state.
I want to thank my colleagues in the Legislature for their support and partnership throughout this process. Their commitment to accountability, transparency, and results is a big part of why Louisiana is leading the nation in broadband deployment.
I also appreciate the leadership of Governor Jeff Landry, the ConnectLA team, and our congressional delegation. This is a team win for Louisiana, and I’m proud of the progress we’re making together.

Thanks to President Biden Republicans voted NO to this so thanking republicans is BS Do better and be honest
The BEAD program came from the Biden administration's 'Internet for All' program as did the funding I believe Thanks for following through and getting this for the state. Good to see that Republicans and Democrats can work together.
Awesome news!!👏👏

Our local newspaper is making big changes to better serve the community.
Instead of ending up in ditches or driveways, our news — and our local businesses’ ads — will now go directly into 15,000 Avoyelles Parish mailboxes.
This is another step toward building a stronger, more informed community, supporting local businesses, and keeping our parish connected.

Maybe with this change I’ll actually receive a newspaper!
This is great. But we still have a lot of older people with no email. They still depends on the paper.
