Proud Slidell Resident & Family Man
Republican · Elected 2022 At-Large

Dr. Jeff Burgoyne has spent his career building partnerships with families across Slidell. As an assistant principal at Slidell High School for over 17 years, he's worked alongside parents, students, and educators to create better outcomes for our community.

"I asked what people want in Slidell. They said: 'We want good service for a good value. We want things to work right.' So do I."

Jeff and his wife Kim — a principal at Florida Avenue Elementary — chose Slidell as the place to raise their family because they saw its potential: a safe, stable community with room to grow. That belief drives Jeff's work on the City Council every day.

In 2022, Jeff entered the at-large race as a political newcomer with a simple message: Slidell can be better, and he wanted to be part of making it happen. Voters agreed, and Jeff has spent his first term delivering on that promise — fighting for improved drainage, supporting economic development, and ensuring every neighborhood has a voice at City Hall.

A Plan for Slidell's Future
Focused leadership on the issues that matter most to our community.

Public Safety

Continue supporting the Slidell Police Department with the resources, training, and funding they need to keep our neighborhoods safe and families protected.

Economic Growth

Attract quality businesses to Slidell — especially light manufacturing, technology, and professional services — while revitalizing vacant storefronts and the North Shore Square site.

Drainage & Infrastructure

Invest in continued drainage improvements and flood control to protect homes and businesses. Ensure a safe, reliable water supply for every Slidell resident.

Walkable Neighborhoods

Complete the Tammany Trace into Slidell and make every neighborhood bikeable and walkable. Olde Towne should be reachable on foot from across the city.

Retaining Young Talent

Partner with local businesses to create mentorship and training programs that keep Slidell's brightest young people here — building careers and building our community.

Smart, Fiscally Responsible

Diversify Slidell's revenue base beyond sales tax reliance. Be smart stewards of taxpayer dollars while maximizing the services our citizens expect and deserve.

Results, Not Rhetoric
Jeff's first term has been about showing up, doing the work, and delivering results for all of Slidell.

Championed Drainage Improvements

Supported critical infrastructure investments to reduce flood risk across Slidell neighborhoods, working with city engineers to prioritize the areas most in need.

Supported Law Enforcement Funding

Voted to increase resources for the Slidell Police Department, ensuring officers have the training and equipment to serve our community safely and effectively.

Advocated for Economic Development

Pushed to attract new businesses to fill vacant storefronts and diversify Slidell's economy beyond its reliance on retail and sales tax revenue.

Collaborative Council Leadership

Built strong working relationships across the council and with the administration — bringing the same partnership-first approach he honed over 17 years in education.

Accessible & Accountable

Maintained an open door for constituents across every district, ensuring that every voice in Slidell has been heard at the at-large level.
