Jefferson Parish ethics commission elects Frank Young chair, Monica Pierre vice chair after resignation
Summary
After former chair Chris Clement resigned after relocating out of state, the Jefferson Parish Ethics and Compliance Commission elected Frank Young as chair and Monica Pierre as vice chair in a roll-call vote on Jan. 21, 2026.
The Jefferson Parish Ethics and Compliance Commission elected Frank Young as chair and Monica Pierre as vice chair at its Jan. 21, 2026 meeting after the commission accepted the resignation of former chair Chris Clement, who relocated out of state.
Commissioners amended the agenda to add the leadership item after a commissioner reported that Clement had resigned because he was "no longer resident of Jefferson Parish." A commissioner then nominated Frank Young for chair and Monica Pierre for vice chair; the motion was seconded and approved in a roll-call vote.
The commission followed standard procedure for the change: the motion to amend the agenda was made and seconded, nominees were proposed, and commissioners cast recorded affirmative votes to confirm Young and Pierre. The chair said the commission would resume the regular agenda after the vote.
The appointment will stand until the commission’s next formal actions concerning leadership; commissioners did not set a separate confirmation timeline during the meeting.
