Emily Broussard is from Lafayette, Louisiana and is currently serving as Scribe for the Democratic Party Executive Committee in Lafayette Parish. She and her husband Sean Richard have two children, Finn and Jonah, who spend most of their time stirring up trouble and then being too hilarious for anyone to stay angry with them. Emily has a B. A. in English Literature from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and has worked in the field of Risk Management for almost ten years. Emily is an avid reader and an average knitter and enjoys doing both whenever possible.

As a Louisiana Democrat, Emily feels that our community members deserve safe, free spaces to learn and play and as such is a passionate defender of the library (which is where she and her boys can be found on Thursday afternoons). Emily believes that everyone deserves equal access to community resources, bodily autonomy free from discrimination, and strong representation in government. Emily loves being a part of a big Cajun family and is so inspired by the generations before us who came here to live free from prejudice and persecution and helped to make it the special, diverse Acadiana we live in today.
