Ascension Parish Council
Every member of the Ascension Parish Council, as the Louisiana Secretary of State's list of elected officials prints them.
The Ascension Parish Council is Ascension Parish's governing body. Its 11 members are elected from districts. The parish president, Clint Cointment, is elected by the whole parish and is not a member of the council. This page lists every district and the member who holds it as the Louisiana Secretary of State's list of elected officials prints them, and the map's Parish card reads the same list. The list gives every member's term as ending on January 3, 2028.

districtry is an independent, unofficial civic reference. It never guesses at who holds a seat: every name above is printed in the Louisiana Secretary of State's list of elected officials, and where the list names no one for a seat this page says so rather than filling the gap.
