John Earl Leblanc seeking re-election for Mayor of Erath

I, John Earl Leblanc, am seeking re-election as your Mayor in the upcoming election on November 6, 2018, for the Town of Erath. It has been an honor to serve as your Mayor for the past 4 ½ years, and I have worked diligently to better our town.
During my administration, I negotiated an electrical contract to lower electricity costs, which resulted in a savings to residents and businesses. I have been working with the Vermilion Parish Economic Development Director and property owners to attract businesses to Erath. Hopefully in the near future our vision will materialize for the people of Erath and also bring additional revenue to our town.
As Mayor, I have worked with the city council to completely renovate the sewer plant to accommodate our needs for the next 30 to 40 years. This was completed and funded through a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Grant and low interest loan. We also received funding from the Twin Parish Port to provide needed services on the north side of Highway 14 Bypass. This funding brought the Pediatric Clinic that provides medical services to children and residents, and is promising for other future development on the north side.
I plan to continue working to move Erath forward with the goal of bringing new businesses to the Town of Erath. I want this town to prosper and grow for the benefit of all residents and their children and grandchildren. My wife Peggy and I humbly ask for your vote and support on Election Day.
