Harvey Peltier, Sr.
Harvey Andrew Peltier, Sr. (October 20, 1899 – November 12, 1977), was an attorney, banker, businessman, sugar grower, oilman, champion horse breeder, and politician from Thibodaux, Louisiana,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harvey Peltier, Sr. )〕 who was a campaign manager of Governor and U.S. Senator Huey Pierce Long, Jr.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pot Of Gold For A Nervy Cajun, September 19, 1966 )〕
==Political life==
From 1924 to 1929, Peltier was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from his native Lafourche Parish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership of the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-Current )〕 He was a state senator from Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes from 1930 to 1940.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana State Senate, 1880-Present )〕
During the 1960s, Peltier served on the since disbanded Louisiana State Board of Education as the elected member designated for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district.〔''The Lagniappe'', Louisiana Tech University yearbook, 1970, p. 32〕 In the general election held on November 8, 1966, Peltier defeated for the state board a Republican candidate, businessman Charles deGravelles, a native of Morgan City residing in Lafayette who subsequently served from 1968 to 1972 as the state GOP party chairman. Peltier polled 44,413 votes (64.7 percent) to deGravelles' 24,236 votes (35.3 percent). In that same election Hall Lyons, a Lafayette oilman and the younger son of Louisiana Republican state chairman Charlton Lyons, failed to unseat veteran U.S. Representative Edwin E. Willis for the Third District House seat.〔Billy Hathorn, ''The Republican Party in Louisiana, 1920-1980'', (Natchitoches: Northwestern State University, 1980), pp. 151-152〕 〔State of Louisiana: Secretary of State, ''Election Returns, 1965-1966'', p. 28〕 Bill Dodd was then the education superintendent, a position now appointed by the governor, and the then 11-member state board was all-Democratic.
In September 1966, while running for the state education board, Peltier told an interviewer:
I'm 66 years young, and I guess I'm sort of a jack-of-all-trades. I mean I go to my office every day. I have a lot of things going for me. I may have less money than some people, but I have more nerve than most.〔
