Hoping to increase community engagement, youth outreach and business growth, Laurel native Adrian Rousseau is looking to Nov. 1 as he enters the final stretch of his run for the at-large seat on the Laurel Council.

Rousseau, an athletic director of the Laurel Boys and Girls Club, is eyeing the at-large council seat held by Council President Michael R. Leszcz.
“I have issues with the city and the lack of adhering to the concerns of the community, if you’re not in touch with the community, it’s hard to know their concerns.”

“In my opinion, [the club] is in third world form…[the council] should be concerned where their kids are playing and being taken care of,”
“Everyone recognizes there is a Ward1, the residents don’t recognize the city doing a lot for Ward 2.”- Adrian Rousseau
