KEVIN M. VOISIN QUALIFIES FOR TERREBONNE PARISH COUNCIL DISTRICT SIX RACE

July 9, 2008 - HOUMA, Louisiana – Kevin M. Voisin qualified for the Terrebonne Parish Council District Six race today at the Terrebonne Parish Clerk of Courts office. He was accompanied by his grandfather, former Police Jury President Ernie Voisin, his father, long time community leader Michael Voisin, and his five-year-old son Michael Voisin.

“I am really honored to have the chance to serve the people of Terrebonne Parish. I’m here with the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th generation of my family to live in the parish. I will stand for building a parish that grows to meet the needs and wants of the next eight generations.”

Voisin took a stand the first day of his official candidacy at a neighborhood meeting in Bayou Black about the new work release prisoner facility being erected on Savanne Road. Voisin expressed his belief that proper zoning would have allowed for valuable programs like this to move forward in a way that would not have surprised or upset local homeowners. “Terrebonne Parish is a beautiful place and there is space for everyone. As a community we have long outgrown our outdated policies of growing without proper zoning. I will stand for proper zoning in order to end surprises of this nature.”

Even before his official candidacy began, Voisin set up a website to keep his constituency updated and informed about where he stands on issues affecting the parish. Citizens can visit www.kevinvoisin.com to not only view video clips and read blog updates posted by Voisin, but also voice their own questions and concerns. The website is set up to receive donations to the Kevin Voisin for Council campaign as well. This site is an extension of Voisin’s stand that modern technology and 21st century infrastructure will bring a new day to Terrebonne Parish.
