| Heather Cloud, a Christian, mother, businesswoman and conservative, currently represents District 28 in the Louisiana State Senate. She was elected by an overwhelming majority of voters in October 2019 and is the first Republican to ever serve in this seat.
Heather has been happily married to Jody Cloud for twenty years and is the proud mother of two sons, Logan (17) and Ethan (13), Heather has a Bachelor's degree in Education, and spent a short time in the classroom before entering the private sector with her husband. Heather and Jody own a transportation company which includes a small fleet of 18-wheelers that specialize in aggregate distributions as well as heavy equipment transportation.
Before being elected to the Louisiana State Senate, Heather served as the Mayor of Turkey Creek for eight years. In 2014, she overturned a mayoral election because of vote buying, a battle that took thousands of dollars and five court cases. Since then she has been instrumental in multiple pieces of election integrity legislation.
Like many of us, she is also no stranger to personal health obstacles. Heather was diagnosed with cancer in 2017. She miraculously sailed through an extensive neck surgery, and by the grace of God, avoided the planned cancer treatments. She credits her Lord and Savior Jesus for every victory that she has experienced in both personal and governmental life. |
