Melancon Campaign Opens Napoleonville Headquarters

NAPOLEONVILLE, LA: Congressman Charlie Melancon was on hand for the Grand Opening of his main campaign headquarters in downtown Napoleonville on Thursday night. Friends, elected officials, campaign workers, and volunteers were in abundance to celebrate the opening. Guests were treated with jambalaya and white beans and given the chance to pick up campaign signs and bumper stickers.

“It’s always good to see so many friends and supporters at these events,” Melancon said. “Many of these people have provided me with gracious support over the years, and I couldn’t run this re-election campaign without them.”

Among the elected officials in attendance were state Representatives Karen St. Germain of Pierre Part and Bobby Faucheux, Jr. of Gramercy, St. Charles Parish President Albert Laque, Terrebonne Parish Councilman Wayne Thibodaux, Assumption Parish Assessor Cat Blanchard, St. John Parish Councilman Allen St. Pierre, Assumption Parish Police Jurors Henry Dupre, Patrick Lawless, and Calvin James, and Assumption Parish Constable Richard Arcement.

The Napoleonville office will serve as the central office for Congressman Melancon’s re-election campaign. There will also be offices in New Iberia, Houma, and LaPlace. The election will take place on November 7th.
