As a life-long resident of Vermilion Parish and parent of two children who both have attended Vermilion Parish Public Schools, I am passionate about public education in Vermilion Parish.

David Trahan is seeking election to the Vermilion Parish Police Jury in District 12.
Trahan is the father of three children, Leah, Jade and Stacey, and a Grandfather of four, Collin, Kagen, Kohen and Avery.
He is a graduate of Kaplan High School and Crowley Vo-Tech with a Welding and Inspection Degree.
He was a Fireman and First Responder for 35 years and was a Maltrait Memorial School Board Member for four years.
