Jared Christopher Brossett (born October 1982) is an African-American Democratic member of the New Orleans City Council. He was elected to the District D seat on the council in 2014 to fill the seat vacated by Cynthia Hedge-Morrell, who was term-limited and ran instead unsuccessfully for one of the two at-large council seats.
Formerly from 2009 to 2014, Brossett was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 97 in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. He won a special election to the seat on May 2, 2009, to replace Jean-Paul Morrell, another African-American Democrat who was instead elected to the District 3 seat in the Louisiana State Senate. Morrell is the son of Cynthia Hedge-Morrell and Arthur A. Morrell, the clerk of the New Orleans Criminal Court and the District 97 state representative prior to Jean Paul Morrell.[1]
Brossett is the son of Brenda M. Brossett and Elery Michael Brossett.[2] He graduated from McDonogh 35 Senior High School in New Orleans, Brossett holds a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from historically black Xavier University of Louisiana. He is a member of the Orleans Parish Democratic Executive Committee.[3]
Brossett was succeeded in the House by another African-American Democrat, Joseph Bouie, Jr., a retired professor and administrator at Southern University at New Orleans. Coincidentally, Bouie had run unsuccessfully against Brossett for the city council just a few months earlier. In the council race, Brossett polled 8,712 votes (50.2 percent) to Bouie's 7,238 votes (41.7 percent). A third Democrat, Dalton R. Savwoir, Jr., held the remaining 1,414 ballots (8.1 percent).[4] No one filed against Bouie in the special election for the District 97 House seat.
