Juan Chastang
Juan H. Chastang (born 1961 or 1962) is an African-American politician in Mobile County, Alabama. He is notable for being the subject in the case of Riley vs. Kennedy, a case concerning Alabama election and appointment law which was taken on and ruled upon by the United States Supreme Court.
==Appointment to office==
In 2005, longtime County Commissioner Sam Jones was elected as Mayor of Mobile. This left a vacancy in the first district seat on the County Commission. Governor Bob Riley appointed Chastang, an African-American Republican, to serve out the remainder to the term in the heavily African-American and Democratic district. This was not the first time that Riley had appointed someone to local office in Mobile County. In 2004, Riley appointed Stephen Nodine to the 2nd District seat on the County Commission after he won the 2004 Republican runoff to succeed former commissioner Freeman Jockisch, who had been convicted on federal corruption chargers earlier that year. In 2006, Riley appointed Sam Cochran as Sheriff of Mobile County after he had won the Republican primary. The office had become vacant that year upon the conviction of former Sheriff Jack Tillman on charges of embezzlement. Chastang's appointment to the commission marked the first time since Reconstruction that Mobile had an elected governmental board in Mobile County was unanimously Republican, and the first time since Reconstruction in which a black Republican was holding elected office in Mobile County.〔(Riley v.
