In this episode of Fueled, we sit down with Lafayette Mayor-President Monique Blanco Boulet—a lifelong public servant whose career has spanned regional planning, disaster recovery, and now the helm of Lafayette Consolidated Government. Known for her pragmatic, data-driven leadership and her deep roots in Acadiana, Boulet is guiding Lafayette through a pivotal moment.

From tackling long-overdue drainage upgrades to shaping bold economic development corridors, her administration is balancing near-term fixes with a long-view vision. At the center of her approach: transparency, accountability, and a commitment to protecting the culture that makes Lafayette unique.

Recorded inside the Acadiana Center for the Arts, this conversation explores the infrastructure priorities, leadership values, and future vision shaping one of Louisiana’s most dynamic communities.
