Every elected office with authority over some or all of Lafayette Parish — parish-wide row offices, the two councils and school board, the parish's congressional and state delegation, the courts, and the five municipalities. 119 offices in all, current as of this writing.
Six offices every voter in Lafayette Parish votes on, regardless of where in the parish they live.
Mayor-President
Runs Lafayette Consolidated Government day to day — proposes the budget, appoints department heads including the police chief, and executes what the two councils adopt. The office is parish-wide: every voter in Lafayette Parish votes for it.
Official site ↗Sheriff
Mark Garber
The parish's chief law enforcement officer and tax collector. Runs the parish jail, provides court security, patrols the unincorporated parish and the municipalities without their own force, and collects parish property taxes. Independent of LCG — the sheriff answers to voters, not the Mayor-President.
Official site ↗Clerk of Court
Louis J. Perret
Keeps Lafayette Parish's official paper trail — land records, mortgages, marriage licenses, and every civil and criminal court filing — administers jury duty, and serves on the parish Board of Election Supervisors. If you've ever pulled a deed or court record online, it came through this office.
Official site ↗Assessor
Justin Centanni
Sets the taxable value of every piece of property in the parish — land, homes, business equipment — which determines the property tax bill for homeowners, businesses, and the schools and government bodies that tax rate funds. Also administers the homestead exemption.
Coroner
Dr. Kenneth Odinet
Investigates deaths that are sudden, violent, or unexplained, determines cause and manner of death, and signs off on the death certificate in those cases. Also handles emergency mental-health commitments — an involuntary hold requires the coroner's office to sign off.
District Attorney
Donald "Don" Landry
Decides who gets charged for crimes committed in the parish and represents the state in those cases, from screening arrests through trial. Oversees a staff of assistant DAs covering everything from juvenile court to violent felonies.
All of Lafayette Parish is now in Louisiana’s 3rd Congressional District. That’s a change from the map used in the 2024 election, which split the parish between the 3rd District and a 6th District that reached into Baton Rouge. Louisiana redrew its congressional map in May 2026, after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callaisthat the state’s previous map, which created a second Black-majority district, relied too heavily on race. The Legislature passed the new map as Senate Bill 121, and Gov. Jeff Landry signed it into law on May 29, 2026. The 6th District’s representative, Cleo Fields — whose old district included part of Lafayette Parish — announced in July that he won’t seek re-election to the redrawn seat and is running for a state Senate seat instead. If you’re not sure which congressional district you’re in, the Secretary of State’s GeauxVote voter portal will tell you.
City Council districts and Parish Council districts are not the same districts. They share numbering but not boundaries, and they’re different bodies with different budgets. If you live inside the City of Lafayette, you’re represented by both a city council member and a parish council member. If you live in the unincorporated parish, or in Broussard, Carencro, Duson, Scott or Youngsville, you have a parish council member and your own municipal government instead.
Nineteen district offices across three bodies. Parish Council and City Council members represent different areas under the same district numbers — see above.

Twenty-eight offices — Congress, the statewide executives, and the state legislators and board members whose districts touch Lafayette Parish.
U.S. Senator
Bill Cassidy
Cassidy lost the closed Republican primary for his own seat (May 16, runoff June 27, 2026) to Rep. Julia Letlow. He remains the sitting senator until his term ends in January 2027 but is not on the November ballot.

Cleo Fields
Fields represents part of Lafayette Parish through the end of his term in January 2027. The 6th District was redrawn following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, and Fields is not seeking reelection. Under the new map no Lafayette Parish voter is in the 6th District, so this seat is not on any Lafayette ballot in November.

Officeholder names and terms come primarily from the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court’s public officials roster. Some entries were independently corrected where subsequent reporting showed the roster was stale — a resignation, a special election, or an interim appointment the roster hadn’t caught up to yet; those are flagged in place. Congressional district boundaries and the SB121/Callais background come from the enrolled text of Senate Bill 121 (Act 2) and Ballotpedia’s tracker of 2026 Louisiana redistricting. Cleo Fields’s reelection decision is reported by The Hill. To confirm which district you live in, use the Secretary of State’s GeauxVote voter portal. Spotted something off? Let us know.
