Hold Power Accountable: Contact Your Denham Springs City Council

The following contact information for Denham Springs City Council Members is published as a public service to facilitate civic oversight and constituent communication. These elected officials are collectively responsible for the governance, ordinances, and budgetary decisions that directly impact your community and quality of life.

A Critical Note on Representation: Unlike a district-based system, the Denham Springs City Council is elected "At-Large." This means each council member represents the entire city, not a specific neighborhood or geographical area.

Therefore, we implore every citizen to reach out to all five council members. Do not limit your communication to just one. Ensuring that your voice is heard by the entire council is the most effective strategy to demand transparency, accountability, and action on the issues that matter to you.
