BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES THROUGH RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP
Sidney John Barthelemy II is a father, husband, builder, and neighborhood advocate dedicated to creating a better tomorrow for every family in
District 3. For more than 20 years, he has led major construction and redevelopment projects that strengthen public safety, expand educational opportunity, and revitalize neighborhoods across Southeast Louisiana.
As President of B-Squared Construction, Sidney has delivered multimillion-dollar projects, from early childhood centers and fire stations to veterans’ housing and post-disaster home repairs, with a reputation for integrity, transparency, and results. He began his career just before Hurricane Katrina and returned home immediately after the storm, helping clear debris and rebuild the city he loves. That experience shaped his belief that leadership means showing up, stepping in, and doing the hard work.
Sidney’s commitment to service extends beyond construction. He served as Board Chair of Benjamin E. Mays Preparatory School, supporting students and families in the 9th Ward, and is a Leadership Fellow of the Justice Revius Ortique Leadership Institute. He is also active in community organizations, including the Bunch Club and the Coterie Social Aid & Pleasure Club.
A proud Morehouse College graduate, Sidney has built his personal and professional life on loyalty, honesty, and being someone people can count on. He believes that trust is earned by keeping your word, something he has done throughout his career and intends to continue as State Senator.
Sidney is running for State Senate District 3 because working families deserve stronger schools, better economic opportunity, more affordable housing, and leaders who fight for them every single day. He will bring collaborative problem-solving, transparent leadership, and a relentless work ethic to Baton Rouge, delivering real results and building a safer, stronger future for District 3.
