Rachel Touchet Mouton is candidate for Abbeville City Council in District B

My name is Rachel Touchet Mouton, and I am running for Abbeville City Council, District B because I believe our community deserves leadership rooted in Trust, Transparency, and Togetherness.
I previously had the opportunity to serve as the Interim City Council Member for District B for five months, stepping in during a time of transition. During that period, I focused on addressing practical neighborhood needs that residents and I had raised for years, including working to update outdated neighborhood street signs and addressing concerns about aging neighborhood lighting. Just as importantly, I used that time to listen—meeting with District B residents to better understand their concerns and priorities.
I am a lifelong community volunteer. Over the years, I have volunteered with Relay for Life of Vermilion, and I have also volunteered at community events with the Vermilion Reach Group. As a proud Navy mom, service is a core value in my life, and I bring that same commitment to my involvement in the Abbeville community.
In the last election, I missed office by just one vote. While the margin was incredibly narrow, it reinforced a powerful lesson for me: every voice truly matters, and real leadership means continuing to show up even after setbacks. That experience encouraged me to run again, bringing with me additional perspective, experience, and new ideas to address long-standing challenges in District B.
If elected, I will move beyond “business as usual” by hosting regular community events and forming a District B Panel, creating a consistent space for residents to share concerns, receive updates, and work together on thoughtful, creative solutions. I am not running simply to hold a title, but to be an active, accessible partner for the people of District B.
I respectfully ask for your support and your vote on May 16, 2026, so together we can build a district rooted in trust, transparency, and togetherness.
