Koll Seeks District 5 LCG Council Seat
Dr. Monique Koll, a local veterinarian, realtor and author, announces her candidacy for the District 5 Lafayette City-Parish Council seat.
Koll, an Independent, currently serves as a volunteer member of the Metropolitan Planning Organization, the city-parish president’s Awareness Committee for Citizens with Disabilities and the Lafayette Consolidated Government Bicycle Subcommittee.
Koll worked full-time as a clinical, emergency and research veterinarian until October 2012, when she was struck by a vehicle while on her bicycle training for a triathlon.
She was hospitalized in New Orleans for two months and suffered a permanent spinal cord injury that left her partially paralyzed. Four months after the accident, Koll was able to cross the finish line of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon in New Orleans.
Koll said if elected, she would like to work on the “dissonance” that consolidation has brought to city and parish government, as well as address the drainage issues in her district and continue her work on parishwide transportation.
