Who is Billy Nungesser?
William Harold Nungesser, usualy known as Billy Nungesser, is the President of Plaquemines Parish in suburban New Orleans, Louisiana. A Republican, Nungesser was re-elected to a second four-year term in the 2010 general election, having defeated two opponents with more than 71 percent of the vote. His second term began on January 1, 2011. He made countless media appearances in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, including almost nightly guest appearances on the Cable News Network alongside journalist Anderson Cooper. Nungesser was recognized as the Face of the Oil Spill by major media outlets such as the New Orleans Times-Picayune, New York Times, Associated Press, CNN, Reuters, and ABC News.
Plaquemines Parish consists of the final stretch of the Mississippi River before it connects with the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane Katrina first made landfall in the southern end of Plaquemines, in the town of Empire, Louisiana.
