Terry Broussard announces re-election bid for Abbeville City Council District D Seat

Abbeville City Councilwoman Terry Broussard has officially announced her candidacy for re-election to the District D seat on the Abbeville City Council Board, asking constituents for their continued support in the May 16, 2026 municipal election.
Broussard, who has served District D with a focus on infrastructure, accessibility, and community engagement, is pointing to a strong record of accomplishments as the foundation of her campaign.
During her current term, Councilwoman Broussard has championed several key improvements throughout the district. Residents have seen upgrades at Herbert Williams Park, ADA accessibility enhancements at McKinnley Scott Park, and a sidewalk improvement project along Martin Luther King Boulevard. The Lafitte Fishing Pier also received much-needed upgrades under her watch.
On the infrastructure front, Councilwoman Broussard oversaw an electrical project through Echo Powerline, which connected the Gertrude Substation to the Felicity Electrical Substation — a critical upgrade to the area's power grid. Additionally, a sewer rehabilitation project was completed along Dutel and Felicity Streets, and a water system upgrade was secured to benefit all Abbeville citizens. Broussard also assisted District D families through the LCDBG Clearance program, which helped address dilapidated structures across the community.
Beyond infrastructure, the councilwoman has been an active community partner — supporting local organizations, churches, and schools, and serving as a member of the Martin Luther King Committee.
"I've been committed to my service to the citizens of District D," Councilwoman Broussard said. "It has been a great honor to serve each of you as your representative on the Abbeville City Council. I have not and will not change. Accessibility, accountability, and communication are the main assets to building trust, and I've remained consistent in all of the above."
Voters will have the opportunity to cast their ballots during early voting, which runs Saturday, May 2 through May 9, 2026, with Election Day set for Saturday, May 16, 2026.
Councilwoman Terry Broussard is asking District D residents for their support as she seeks to continue her work on behalf of the community.
