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.
The future of Avoyelles and Louisiana is on the ballot tomorrow. We have an opportunity to move forward, grow, and build a stronger future for the next generation. Don’t listen to the negativity. Believe in what our parish can become. It’s our time. Go vote tomorrow.

As a retired teacher from 33-years of service in Avoyelles Parish and current president of the Avoyelles Retired Teachers Association and after reading and studying what the research of the Louisiana Retired Teachers Association and PAR, I will vote YES for Amendment #3 because it will help the retirement fund for all teachers--current and retired--stay healthy and financially stable.
As a veteran teacher I am still voting no for the amendment for my “raise!” Give me a raise from other areas and because I deserve it without making an amendment for it! Cut areas of high paying salaries to fund teachers!
Don’t worry I’m going vote No! Thanks for the reminder!

👍💝!
It was great to take a break from legislative work today and spend time with some outstanding kids from Avoyelles 4-H at the Capitol.
We toured the building, talked about how our state government works, and even got to sit in on a committee meeting while members were debating a bill. It’s always encouraging to see young people engaged and interested in the process.
These are the future leaders of our parish and our state. Proud of this group!

Update: I want to take a moment to thank these elected officials for their support and their willingness to work with me on this proposal. I will have the bill introduced in the next couple of days and will share a link so everyone can review it. I’m glad we were able to work together for the betterment of Avoyelles. One thing I’ve learned from this process is that we are all very passionate about our parish, and I am proud to represent the best parish in the state.

Daryl, you mentioned that you would publish the new court bill in two days. I’ve looked for it in the Louisiana legislature website, local newspaper, and even Facebook but can’t seem to find it. Please tell me where you published it. We are very interested in this matter.
Thanks Rep. Daryl Deshotel for reconsidering the legislation eliminating the City Courts of our Parish. I know the exact plan is not published yet, but I am anxious to see the wording of the new legislation. The people of our Parish deserve to be heard, and I believe this is one of those instances where the people spoke and were heard. Thanks to all that spoke up to present their concerns. Now we await the finished product!
So what happens to the bill that you previously introduced? Do you withdraw it and submit a new bill?

I want to be clear — I am not eliminating the Bunkie or Marksville city courts.
I am working on a plan that will be beneficial for the entire parish and for the taxpayers.
There has been a lot of misinformation circulating, and it is important that people not rush to judgment based on incomplete or inaccurate information.
I will be sharing the full plan soon so it can be evaluated on facts, not speculation.

Daryl Deshotel how is it inaccurate if the proposed bill states it would eliminate Bunkie and Marksville city courts? I genuinely want to know.
After reading the above comments is HB 1165 the correct bill that was filed or has an amended version not yet filed?
Soooooo the word (Eliminate) doesn't mean what it used to?

People often ask me questions about the Constitution, and I’m always glad to have those conversations.
The truth is, it’s one of the most important documents we have but also one of the least actually read.
If you haven’t taken the time to go through it, this is a great, simple way to understand your rights and how our government is supposed to work.

Thank you for posting this about the Constitution. One of these days I will have to relate to you my efforts to present information about the Declaration of Independence this year.
It's probably similar to The ten commandments
Yes indeed people in usa don't know where, when and how they live.

Had a great night at the Bright Lights Awards Dinner.
I was honored to present the Documentary Photographer of the Year award to Kevin Rabalais, an Avoyelles Parish native who has done an incredible job capturing the people and culture of Louisiana.
It’s always special recognizing someone from home who is making an impact across our state. Proud moment for Avoyelles.
Well deserved, Kevin.
