Raymond Julian Laborde, I (born August 18, 1927), is a department store owner and a Democratic retired politician in his native Marksville, the seat of Avoyelles Parish in south Central Louisiana. He was the mayor of Marksville from 1958–1970 and thereafter served five terms from 1972–1992 in the Louisiana House of Representatives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership of the Louisiana House of Representatives )〕〔The state legislative listing indicates that Laborde began his legislative service in 1968, but P.J. Laborde served from 1968–1972.〕 He was a gubernatorial floor leader, Speaker Pro Tempore from 1982–1984,〔 and in his last full term the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. After his election without opposition to a sixth term in the 1991 nonpartisan blanket primary, Laborde immediately resigned to become commissioner of administration in the fourth and final nonconsecutive term of his boyhood friend, Governor Edwin Washington Edwards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Gov.-elect Edwards names Raymond Laborde Louisiana's Commissioner of Administration.

As students at Marksville High School, Laborde in 1943 defeated Edwin Edwards for senior class president. In his first year in the House as an Edwards floor leader in 1972, Laborde balked at Edwards' call for a $1 billion tax increase. "And, oh man, did I catch hell. When I got back home, Edwin had put the word out, and everyone was calling me. Let me tell you, it was mighty uncomfortable. I couldn't wait for him to call a special session, so I could get back there and get that tax passed," Laborde said in a 2007 interview with ''Alexandria Daily Town Talk''.〔 After graduation from Marksville High School, Laborde enrolled at his father's ''alma mater'', Roman Catholic-affiliated Loyola University in New Orleans, where at the age of eighteen he played on the 1945–1946 Loyola national championship basketball team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Political Hall of Fame: Raymond J.

The couple has four children, Donald A. Laborde, Raymond Laborde, II, Charles Laborde, Minnie C. Lafargue, and Rachel Karam.〔People Search & Background Check〕〔Net Detective People Search〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Laborde-Bass )〕 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「Raymond Laborde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
