PARISH PAC

Parish PAC is a Louisiana State Political Action Committee established to elect strong, engaged leaders for Lafayette Parish, Acadiana, and Louisiana.  Founded by Lafayette Republican businessman Bobby Richard, Parish PAC is committed to addressing the emerging challenges facing Louisiana families and businesses.

Our Vision & Values

The 2023 Election Cycle will be critical to the future of Lafayette Parish, Acadiana, and Louisiana. We will see major changes in leadership at all levels of state and local government.  We will have a new governor, and new legislative leadership.

Together, we have come through global pandemic, multiple weather events, civil unrest, and political turmoil.

Now, we’re seeing serious supply-chain disruptions along with accelerating inflation impacting food, energy, healthcare, construction, transportation, and just about everything else.

Parish PAC is committed to electing strong, highly engaged leaders across Louisiana who are ready to address the unique challenges posed by the current social, economic, and political environment.

Resilient, sustainable, family and business friendly communities are our objective.

Parish PAC is organized around four core policy themes that will inform our work for the Election Cycle.

Establishing a more sustainable fiscal and regulatory balance between localities, states, and the federal government.  A greater emphasis on local resiliency and sustainability is clearly needed.

Responding to rapidly emerging energy, agriculture, construction, transportation, healthcare, and supply-chain challenges and opportunities. 

Addressing rapidly growing concerns around government and “big tech” censorship limiting public debate, while restricting economic and monetary freedom.

Building strong working relationships with leaders statewide to help Lafayette Parish and Acadiana in the coming legislative terms.

You are hereby invited to participate and join our work for a safer, more prosperous future for all of us.
