For nearly 30 years, Benny Rousselle has served Plaquemines Parish — as state representative, four-term councilman, two-term parish president, and justice of the peace. When Hurricane Katrina devastated the region, Benny led the recovery. He showed up, took responsibility, and rebuilt.
Today, the Parish is struggling. Water systems are failing. The permit department is a bottleneck. Grass goes uncut, roads go unrepaired, and assets like Fort Jackson and Port Eads have been left behind. The current administration keeps expanding its budget while contracting out the work — a sure sign it doesn't know how to run parish government. But, Benny does.
Benny also led the fight against the bridge tolls since day one — he's the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit to eliminate them permanently, not just suspend them. Plaquemines Parish residents should never have to pay to access their own parish.
