Charles Ray Anding (July 15, 1928 – May 20, 2004)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles Ray Anding )〕 of West Monroe, Louisiana, was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 15 in Ouachita Parish. He served two terms from 1988 to 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2016 )〕 Anding was a son of John Anding (1901–1981) and Mellie B. Anding (1903–1995) of West Monroe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anding )〕 From 1945, shortly after his marriage at the age of seventeen to the former Lillie Lorece Parnell, Anding became an officer of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers. He held several positions with the union until his retirement in 1992. Prior to his state House service, he had been a member of the Ouachita Parish School Board and for two terms between 1966 and 1974 an alderman on the West Monroe City Council,〔 having served his city during the administration of Mayor Bert Hatten.〔''Lake Charles American Press'', June 15, 1966, p. 10〕 In the 1987 general election, Anding narrowly defeated the Republican David Glen Haynes (born c. 1954) to claim the seat vacated by Democrat Evelyn Blackmon, the first woman elected to the legislature from Ouachita Parish. Blackmon ran third in the nonpartisan blanket primary and was hence eliminated from the second round of balloting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results for Election Date: 10/24/1987 )〕 Anding prevailed by 201 votes, 5,672 (50.9 percent) to Haynes's 5,471 (49.1 percent).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results for Election Date: 11/21/1987 )〕 No Republican challenged Anding in 1991, and he received 81 percent of the vote to secure his second term. In 1995, however, he was toppled by the Republican Mike Walsworth, since a member of the Louisiana State Senate. Walsworth received 7,745 votes (54.7 percent) to Anding's 6,403 (45.3 percent).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Results for Election Date: 10/21/1995 )〕 The Andings had three children, Anita Anding, Shirley A. Downs, and Earnest Anding. He died at the age of seventy-five and is interred in West Monroe at Luna Methodist Cemetery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Regular Session, 2004 HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 77 )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Anding」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
