HAHNVILLE — Webb Jay announced he is running for Council District 3 in St. Charles Parish.

Having served as president of Ormond Civic Association for the last four years has given Webb a unique understanding of the needs of local residents, he said.

For the last 15 years he has worked as a Real Estate Agent and Associate Broker; he is currently affiliated with Latter & Blum in Destrehan.

He oversees the Student Ministries and serves as the Director of Church Life at South Pointe Church.

Jay said he loves his community and while District 3 has many things people are looking for in a place to raise their families, he would like to work to improve drainage, promote and expand recreation facilities for young people, encourage responsible business growth and make sure taxes remain low and are well spent.
