Former sheriff’s office leader announces run for Lafourche Parish president
Summary
Elliot Day, a longtime local law-enforcement officer and community volunteer, announced his candidacy for Lafourche Parish president and highlighted emergency-response and youth-program leadership experience.
At the Oct. 14 Lafourche Parish Council public-comment period, Lafayd (Elliot) Day Jr. announced his candidacy for Lafourche Parish president.
Day outlined his local roots and three decades of service in law enforcement, describing roles from patrol to detective, training leadership and service during major local incidents. He described community work with Beyond the Bell, the Lafourche Education Foundation and Bayou Community Foundation, and emphasized his desire for "servant leadership." “Yesterday, today, and every day, I am Elliot Day, and I humbly ask your consideration to be your Lafourche Parish president,” he said.
Council members acknowledged his announcement but took no formal position; this was a public comment and not an official filing or a ballot-certification event.
Next steps: Day will pursue the standard candidacy-filing process with the appropriate election officials; the council made no endorsement during the meeting.
