# Francis C. Thompson

Francis C. Thompson (born October 29, 1941) is an American politician from Louisiana who has represented District 19 in the Louisiana House of Representatives since 2020, as well as between 1975 and 2008. Thompson additionally represented District 24 in the Louisiana State Senate between 2008 and 2020. A Republican, Thompson switched from the Democratic Party in March 2023 after having been an elected Democrat for 48 years. Thompson became the longest-serving state legislator in Louisiana history in January 2023 and is one of the longest-serving in the country.

## Electoral history

Born in his hometown of Delhi, Louisiana, Thompson was elected to the Richland Parish School Board in 1968. In 1975, Thompson won a special election for District 19 in the Louisiana House. Voters have re-elected Thompson 11 times since then, even when Thompson was forced to run for State Senate in 2007 due to newly enacted term limits. Thompson won back his old House seat unopposed in 2019.
Thompson ran in the 1996 United House of Representatives elections in Louisiana's 5th congressional district, but lost in the runoff to Republican John Cooksey.
On March 17, 2023, Thompson announced he was switching to the Republican Party. Thompson's district had become significantly more Republican in recent years, and Thompson had already been voting with Republicans on several key issues. Thompson stated that his switch was in response to Democratic leadership pushing issues that did "not align with those values and principles that are part of my Christian life". The move gave Louisiana Republicans a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers of the Louisiana Legislature for the first time in history. 24 days later, another Democratic state representative in a Republican-heavy district, Jeremy LaCombe, followed Thompson into the Republican Party.

# John William Loudon

John William Loudon (born August 14, 1967) is a former Republican member of the Missouri Senate for the 7th District from 2000 until 2008 and a member of the Missouri House of Representatives from 1995 through 2000. He is the chairman of Florida Citizen Voters and Citizen Voters Inc, a member of Mar-a-Lago, and a former advisor to America First Policies.

## Early life

Loudon was born and raised in St. Louis, one of four children of Robert and Janice Loudon. He graduated from Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1989.

## Career
### Political career

Loudon served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1994 through 1998. He was elected to the Missouri State Senate in 2000, and again in 2004. While in the Senate, Loudon founded and chaired the Senate's Small Business, Insurance, and Industrial Relations Committee, was vice-chair of the Governmental Accountability and Fiscal Oversight Committee, and a member of the committees on education, gubernatorial appointments, and judiciary and civil and criminal Jurisprudence.
Towards the end of his career as senator, Loudon introduced an amendment to a health insurance bill that legalized the practice of midwifery in Missouri. (Missouri had previously been one of a minority of states that prohibited anyone other than registered nurses from serving as a midwife.) The Missouri State Medical Association, which represents physicians in the state, sued to block the controversial provision, arguing that it violated the state's single-subject rule for legislation. In 2008, the Missouri Supreme Court voted, 5–2, to uphold the legislation, finding that the Missouri State Medical Association lacked standing to sue.
Loudon is the chair of both Florida Citizen Voters and Citizen Voters Inc. Both organizations are working in Florida and nationally to change state constitutions to explicitly state that only citizens may vote in elections. As of July 2019, the Florida organization had raised $4.7 million and collected more than 1.5 million signatures, more than twice what was needed to place the measure on the 2020 ballot in Florida.
In May 2018, it was reported that Loudon had used inflammatory and derogatory language against women, Muslims and Democrats. He promoted conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth and religion, suggesting that Obama was a Kenyan-born Muslim.

### Private sector

Missouri law limits state senators to eight years, so Loudon retired in 2008. He worked for a time for an association of nonunion contractors in California. Loudon is a former policy advisor for America First Policies, a pro-Trump organization and is a member of Mar-a-Lago. His wife, Gina Loudon, is a member of the Trump campaign's media advisory board and is a published author.

## Personal life

Loudon married Gina (Gentry) Loudon in 1990. They have five children.
Loudon appeared on ABC's Wife Swap in 2013. The couple appeared on the show Wife Swap when they swapped with a polyamorous and bisexual family. Loudon was the first wife to ever walk off of the set.

Initially, she stayed at the residence of Amar Bikram Shah, son of General Chautariya Pushkar Shah, who had been Nepal's Prime Minister in 1838–39. Amar Bikram Shah's residence in the Narayanhiti area provided her with the facilities and dignity offered to royalty. But whenever outsiders came, she would disguise herself and was introduced as a "maid/cook from Hindusthan". She stayed in Amar Bikram Shah's house for a few months before she decided to come out of her hiding and approach the then Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana.
Kaur was given asylum by Jung Bahadur Rana as a Queen consort of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

# John W. Murphy (Connecticut politician)

John W. Murphy (January 16, 1878 – December 9, 1963), a Democrat, was Mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, elected to seven consecutive terms between 1932 and 1945. He was the city's leading political figure in the first half of the twentieth century.
Murphy left school in the sixth grade to help support his family. While he still was a child, he labored for years under hazardous conditions in a cigar factory and as a young man became an organizer for the Cigar Workers Union, the first trade union in the United States. He rose from union business agent to vice president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. Murphy was elected to the New Haven Board of Alderman and served five terms as its President between 1922 and 1931.
By November, 1931, the city was in the midst of the Great Depression, suffering massive unemployment and a city government on the brink of bankruptcy. Murphy elected mayor by a coalition of the city's working classes, now largely unemployed. Murphy formed a coalition of business, union and civic leaders, including leading Democrats and Republicans, to stabilize the city's finances. Murphy refinanced the city's debt, thereby allowing the provision of food, shelter and material support for more than 60,000 underemployed citizens representing 40% of the total population.
Murphy's civic coalition anticipated the election of Roosevelt and the advent of the New Deal, which brought federal support starting in 1933. Murphy guided New Haven through the Depression and World War II, when the city's manufacturing base created thousands of new jobs providing materiel for the war effort.
Murphy, known popularly as “Honest John” and “The Singing Mayor” was a gifted writer, speaker and singer. He was a close advisor to Connecticut Governor Wilbur Cross, who asked him to serve as Lieutenant Governor, a position Murphy declined.
Murphy was married to Helen O'Connell and the couple had three children, Mary Ellen Murphy Mininberg, John W. Murphy, Jr. and Catherine Murphy Spodnick. Mary Ellen, a teacher in New Haven public schools, continued her father's work as a social activist and Democratic Party leader until her death in 2016.

He was a plant supervisor at the Hat Corporation of America. He also owned the Stack Hats Company.
