All Hail Councilman Kevin!


He won!! Kevin Voisin won his very first election ever for the Terrebonne Parish Council District 6 seat!

862 votes 50.47% Kevin Michael Voisin, R
846 votes 49.53% Steven "Steve" Robichaux, R

16 VOTES!!


Thank you for your votes and all your amazing support! This is because of you! Woohoo! Kevin is so excited to get started working for Terrebonne Parish.

It's so great to be the First Lady of Terrebonne Parish District 6 ;)

We set up a little party to watch the polls report the night of the election at Kevin's mom and dad's house. It turned into quite a victory party. Man, the two guys were neck and neck the entire time! Kevin won 7 out of 14 districts and his opponent won 7 out of 14 districts. Kevin just won his districts at a higher margin, but just barely!




For the entire week before the election, Kevin was calling registered voters in the district personally encouraging them to vote. He recruited his assistants, me, his mom, his dad, his grandpa, his grandma,his sisters, and all kinds of supporters in the community to call people we knew, and some we didn't, in the district to do the same. It was awesome. HE sent out a beaultiful mailer restating his stand. He also sent out another recorded message to all the registered voters the night before the election thanking them for giving him this great chance and reminding them to vote.

The day of the election, Kevin was on the phone again with his powerhouse family of callers. The kids and I went with him to multiple "Breakfast with Santa" parties at local schools in the district. Then, while Kev was at his office calling, the kids and I took to the streets in our homemade Kevin Voisinmobile going door-to-door reminding our neighbors to vote. We actually had a blast. But is was certainly exhausting.

Every little tiny effort helped though. Kevin won by such a small margin. It was more than enough, but it sure was close.

Kevin is already thinking of ways to do this job better. His constituents DEFINITELY chose the right guy.
