The Record

Work you can see
from the street

Most of what keeps a city running is buried, wired, or piped. Under Mayor Robichaux, Rayne has invested where it counts: the water plant, the power supply, the drainage system, and the places families gather.

Water Treatment Plant Improvements

Financed through the Louisiana Department of Health Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund and the EPA. The work includes a new clarifier, added storage, and system flushing so every tap in Rayne gets safe, dependable water.

Fishing Pond and Walking Track

A 14 acre site donated to the city became a place where, in the mayor's words, “the kids, grandparents, and parents, they can fish, and they can exercise.” Gossen Park gained new air conditioned restrooms and a larger concession stand.

Bunche Library Restored

Opened in 1953 to encourage literacy in Rayne's African American community, the Bunche Library was moved and restored in March 2024. A city sponsored historic marker now honors it as a symbol of unity and progress.

I have a comprehensive plan for infrastructure upgrades for electrical, sewer, and water, which is much needed. Mayor Chuck Robichaux

Meet Chuck

A mayor who shows up

Chuck Robichaux has served as Mayor of Rayne since first winning election in 2014. Rayne voters returned him to office in 2018 and again in 2022.

He runs City Hall the way Rayne expects: hands on, close to the work, and present at ribbon cuttings, classroom visits, council meetings, and job sites across town. His focus has stayed the same across three terms. Fix the systems people depend on every day, and give families good places to spend their time.
