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.
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.

👏 Recognizing the Work of the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center
I want to take a moment to recognize the men and leadership of the Raymond Laborde Correctional Center for their outstanding efforts along Highway 115 and Highway 114 here in Avoyelles Parish.
This week’s progress speaks for itself:
✔ 220+ bags collected
✔ 275 bags collected
✔ Continued advancement toward the bridge and Belledeau Hwy
Their discipline, teamwork, and commitment to getting the job done are making a visible and meaningful difference across our parish.
Equally important, this level of productivity is being achieved while operating with limited resources — a clear reflection of strong leadership, organization, and accountability within the facility.
Avoyelles Parish benefits from this type of partnership and dedication.
Thank you for your hard work and positive impact on our community.
— Rep. Daryl Deshotel

Marksville needs to open work release again then you can have 2 crews out and working
They should clean all roads, not just main highways and the elite neighborhoods.

January 22, 1812 | Louisiana History
On this day in 1812, leaders in the Territory of Orleans adopted Louisiana’s first Constitution, setting the framework for our admission as the 18th state just a few months later.
The document was shaped under the guidance of William C. C. Claiborne, who had prior experience with constitutional government and helped navigate Louisiana’s unique blend of French, Spanish, and American legal traditions. Unlike many other states at the time, Louisiana had to balance civil law influences with the U.S. Constitution, a challenge that still shapes our legal system today.
That first constitution reflected the era it was written in. Voting rights were limited, and while citizens voted for governor, the final selection was made by the legislature. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a starting point.
Over the last 200+ years, Louisiana has rewritten its constitution multiple times, each one moving us closer to broader representation, stronger local authority, and a government that better reflects the people it serves.
As a state representative, days like today are a reminder that our job is to keep improving on the foundation laid in 1812 and to make sure Louisiana continues moving forward while honoring where we came from.

Olivia and I were honored to attend the ribbon cutting for the Martin Family Student Success Center at Louisiana State University of Alexandria.
As a State Representative, LSUA Foundation board member, and donor, it was meaningful to see the impact of private support firsthand. The LSUA Foundation raised over $5 million in private funding to help make this facility possible, and through our donation we were proud to help provide a conference room that will serve students and faculty.
LSUA is the fastest growing university in the state of Louisiana. A special thank you to the Martin family for their very generous contribution, and sincere appreciation to Dr. Paul Coreil and the entire LSUA staff for their leadership and dedication to student success.

Honored to welcome my friend Richard Nelson, President of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System, to Central Louisiana at the CLTCC Foundation Leadership Reception.
Richard is a proven leader, and I have no doubt he’s going to do wonderful things for LCTCS and for students across our state. Proud to call him a friend and excited about what’s ahead for Louisiana’s community and technical colleges.
