MEET MITCH ORGERON

Mitch Orgeron is the current Parish President of Lafourche Parish and a proud native who started his career in the oilfield as a roustabout and worked his way up to leadership roles in safety and human resources. Along the way, he earned multiple degrees from Nicholls State University, including an MBA with honors, proving his belief in hard work, education, and accountability.

Mitch has played a key role in helping Lafourche recover after Hurricane Ida, leading efforts to restore medical facilities, rebuild recreation, and strengthen our Head Start early childhood education system. Those efforts show what focused leadership can achieve, but Mitch knows there is still more to be done.

Strategic Priorities

• Infrastructure: Invest in levees, drainage, roads, and public facilities to strengthen the foundation of our parish and protect every community.

• Resiliency: Build on recovery efforts after Ida by continuing to restore our neighborhoods, expand community resources, and prepare Lafourche for the future.

The Road Ahead
Mitch believes in open, honest government that serves people first. He is committed to preserving the culture that makes Lafourche special while creating opportunities for the next generation. As your Lafourche Parish President, Mitch will continue our progress as we build a stronger future together.
