Biographical / Historical

Mike Early served three terms as Councilmember for District C, defeating incumbant Clarence Dupuy in the initial 1976 election. In the 1990 election, he declined to run for re-election, and the District C seat was won by Jacquelyn B. Clarkson. Early ran again for the District C race in 2006, but was defeated in a crowded field by James Carter. Early served on the Board of the Greater New Orleans Tourist & Convention Commission, the City Park Board of Commissioners, and the French Market Corporation.

A native of New Orleans, Early was educated at St. Joseph's Seminary, Loyola University and Harvard. Prior to his run for office, he headed the Louisiana Bureau of Aging Services and served as an administrative assistant to Lieutenant Governor James E. Fitzmorris, Jr.
