A former senior staff member with Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome's office is announcing his candidacy for the East Baton Rouge Metro Council.
On Thursday, Rowdy Gaudet released a statement saying he plans to campaign for the open District 3 seat, which represents a large, southeastern portion of the parish.
Gaudet announced his exit from the mayor's office earlier this year but stayed on in order to assist in the city-parish's coronavirus response.
Gaudet had served as a part of the Mayor-President's executive team since the start of her administration and was one of her first hires.
