Talking to someone today, they asked me how I felt about the SpaceX project in South Louisiana. Someone said that we would be able to fill the launches that they had all the way up into Evangeline Parish. That is yet to be determined.

I’ve been reading about the plans for this huge SpaceX development in the wetlands of South Louisiana, and I have to say, I have some serious concerns.

Don’t get me wrong—I’m all for progress. I’m all for bringing good-paying jobs, new businesses, technology, and opportunities to Louisiana. We need that.

But progress should never mean destroying the very thing that protects us.

Our wetlands are not just a bunch of useless swamp land. They are part of what protects our communities from hurricanes and storm surge. They help control flooding and saltwater intrusion, and they provide habitat for our wildlife, fish, ducks, crawfish, and everything else that makes South Louisiana what it is.

We have watched our coastline disappear for years, and Louisiana has spent BILLIONS trying to restore and protect our wetlands. So I think it’s fair to ask: Why would we put a massive industrial development right in the middle of an area we are already fighting so hard to save?

And we’re not talking about a little building. A project like this can mean launch pads, roads, canals, pipelines, fuel facilities, power infrastructure, tremendous noise, lighting, sonic booms, and potentially rocket debris when something goes wrong.

I understand the economic benefits. Thousands of jobs and major investment in Louisiana would be wonderful.

But we shouldn’t have to choose between JOBS and protecting SOUTH LOUISIANA.

We should be able to have BOTH.

Before something of this magnitude is allowed to move forward, I believe the people of Louisiana deserve to know exactly what the long-term effects will be on our wetlands, wildlife, fisheries, drainage, hurricane protection, and the communities that have called this area home for generations.

Once you destroy a wetland, you can’t just put it back the way God made it.

I’m all for progress—but let’s make sure the progress we’re celebrating today isn’t something our children and grandchildren have to pay for tomorrow.

Protect our culture. Protect our communities. Protect our coast.

And YES—let Louisiana grow. Just make sure we grow responsibly.

DISTRICT 3 — IT’S TIME TO LOOK FORWARD, BUT FIRST, LET’S LOOK BACK.

As we prepare for this election, I’m asking every voter in District 3 to think about the past four years.

Ask yourself:

Were you represented?
Was your voice heard?
Were your concerns taken seriously?
What was accomplished for District 3?
Do you feel our district and our town are better positioned for the future today than they were four years ago?

If you’re satisfied with the answers to those questions, then you know where you stand.

But if you feel District 3 needs stronger representation, more communication, new ideas, and someone willing to speak up for the people, then I’m asking you to consider making a change.

I’m running for Mamou City Council because I believe in what our town can become.

My focus will be on progress while protecting what makes Mamou special — our history, our Cajun culture, our traditions, and our sense of community. I want to work toward attracting businesses and jobs, creating opportunities that encourage our young people to stay here, supporting our seniors, improving our neighborhoods and safety, and making sure town government is transparent and responsive to the people it serves.

But no councilman can accomplish everything alone.

For Mamou to succeed, we need to put the right people in office — people who are willing to work together as a TEAM. We may not always agree, and we shouldn’t. Good government requires discussion, different ideas, and people willing to ask questions. But at the end of the day, elected officials must be able to put personal agendas aside and work together for the good of the entire town.

A council seat should never be about speaking for yourself.

It should be about speaking for the PEOPLE who elected you.

If elected, I will remember exactly who that seat belongs to — YOU, the people of District 3.

I will listen.
I will ask questions.
I will speak up.
I will work with others.
And I will always remember that my responsibility is to represent your voice, not my own interests.

If you believe it’s time for progress…

If you believe District 3 deserves a stronger voice…

If you believe Mamou can preserve our past while building a better future…

Then I humbly ask for your vote.

A vote for Scot “Skippy” Trahan is a vote for PROGRESS.
A vote for YOUR VOICE to be heard.
A vote for the SUCCESS and FUTURE of Mamou.

On November 3rd, let’s make our voices heard.

VOTE SCOT “SKIPPY” TRAHAN
MAMOU CITY COUNCIL — DISTRICT 3

Your Voice. Your City. Your Councilman.

Let’s move Mamou forward — together.
