Eric Frederick Skrmetta (born October 1, 1958) is an attorney from Metairie, Louisiana, who is a Republican member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission for District 1, which includes suburban New Orleans, the eastern Florida Parishes, and the River Parishes.〔 In alphabetical order the parishes partly or wholly represented by Skrmetta are Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, Saint Bernard, Saint Charles, Saint Helena, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington. District 1 thus has a reversed-"C" shape; if it contained East Baton Rouge Parish on its western side, District 1 would form a complete loop with radius in the Greater New Orleans area.〕 The Public Service Commission is an influential regulatory agency which was the political springboard for former Governors Huey Long, Jimmie Davis, and John McKeithen.〔(Skrmetta on Votesmart.org, ) (Skrmetta on Peoplefinders.com. )〕 ==Education and background== Skrmetta's parents were the late Alfreda Gertrude Duffel Skrmetta and Raphael Quentin "Ray" Skrmetta, Sr. (c. 1921–2012) of Metairie in Jefferson Parish. Ray Skrmetta was born in Biloxi, Mississippi, and made his living as a processor and packer in the seafood industry. After service as a cadet in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II, Ray Skrmetta founded Skrmetta Machinery Corporation and developed several inventions used in the seafood processing business. He subsequently acquired Southern Shell Fish Company in Harvey and was a member of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board. Eric Skrmetta's paternal grandparents were Paul Cecil Skrmetta, a native of the island of Brač in the Adriatic Sea within Croatia and the former Elizabeth Nora Grantham, originally from Bay Springs in Jasper County, Mississippi. Skrmetta has a brother, Dennis M. Skrmetta and a sister, Barbara D. Skrmetta and her husband, Whitner Church. A second brother, Raphael, Jr., is deceased.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raphael Quentin "Ray" Skrmetta, Sr. )〕 Eric Skrmetta graduated from Brother Martin High School in his native New Orleans. He then attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where in 1981 he received his Bachelor of Science degree in industrial technology. In 1985, he was a ''cum laude'' graduate (Juris Doctor) of Southern University Law Center, passed the Louisiana bar exam, and entered the practice of law. In 1986, Skrmetta received his LL.M. in admiralty law from Tulane University Law School. Since 1989, he has focused on legal mediation. He holds the District 81 seat on the Louisiana Republican State Central Committee. In 2003, he ran unsuccessfully for the District 81 seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives.〔(Skrmetta profile on the PSC site. )〕 The position instead went to the strongly pro-life Republican John LaBruzzo, also of Metairie, who was unseated in his bid for a third term in 2011. 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「Eric Skrmetta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
