I was born and raised on a small farm out from Sicily Island, LA. It is a small community in North Louisiana.

I am married to Minnie Q. Shelton and we have five children (Aubrey Jr., Melody Todd, Jason, Justin and our youngest, Mindy, who attends LSU.) Our daughter-in-laws are Danielle, Erin and Sharon Posey and son-in-law is Michael Todd.

We are members of Hillcrest Baptist Church in Franklinton, LA, where I serve on the Board of Deacons, substitute Sunday School Teacher, and Upward Basketball Co-director.

As your incoming Parish Councilman of District 7, I want to offer my services to assist the residents of this parish in anyway that I can to help make Washington Parish a better place for us to live, work and raise our families. There are always improvements that can be made and it is my desire that we all can work together and work with our other agencies to prepare Washington Parish for the future and bring more jobs into the parish.
