Mike Yenni, the beleagured but successful President of Jefferson Parish has made his future decision. He will not run for re-election.

Yenni, the former Mayor of the City of Kenner, was voted parish president in 2015. Shortly afterwards, he became embroiled in a personal controversy.  The two candidates who seek to replace him are Councilwoman Cynthia Lee Sheng and former Jefferson Parish President John Young.  Here is the just-released press statement from his media advisor Greg Buisson:

In a just-released University Survey Research Center poll, that also surveyed the race for Jefferson Parish Sheriff, it appears that the political troubles that have followed Jefferson Parish President Mike Yenni have not abated, thus, almost certaintly creating a climate of serious competition, should Yenni run for re-election.
