Boulet launches third TV ad ahead of October election for Mayor-President

LAFAYETTE, LA — With early voting starting later this week, Monique Blanco Boulet (R-Lafayette) released a new ad that identifies her four children as the reason behind the changes she wants to see in Lafayette.

"A mother of four, devout Catholic and Pro-life. Her oldest is an oil and gas engineer in Houston, the youngest, a West Point cadet,” the ad says. “And they're the reason Monique is determined to make Lafayette a safe place, where all our children can come home and build a life.”

The ad also highlights Boulet's experience leading the Acadiana Planning Commission (APC), growing it from an agency in crisis to one of the most successful in the nation. Boulet will do the same as Mayor-President. Monique left her role as head of APC to focus on the race to replace scandal-ridden Guillory as Mayor-President.

This is Boulet's third spot of the campaign. The first ad showcased her experience bringing investments and transparency to government services that prevent crime, such as economic development, better-paying jobs, and public safety measures.

The second ad referenced her father, the late "Coach" Raymond Blanco's wisdom on potential, as well as Boulet's assessment that corruption, waste, and mismanagement by the current administration is holding Lafayette back from reaching its potential.

The new television spot will air through targeted digital and on broadcast and cable in the weeks ahead.

Early voting runs every day except Sunday from Sept. 30 to Oct. 7. Election Day is Oct. 14.
