Drew Hoffmann
Frank Albert Hoffmann (born January 28, 1944) is an American state legislator who has represented District 15 in Ouachita Parish as a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives since January 2008. He is known as a leading legislative opponent of abortion. Prior to his entry into politics, Hoffman was a retired school administrator for the Ouachita Parish School Board. He resides in West Monroe.
Hoffmann holds a Bachelor of Arts, Master of Education, and Ed.D. (since changed to Ph.D.) from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, formerly Northeast Louisiana State College and then University. He spent forty-one years in the Ouachita school system as a teacher, principal, personnel director, and, finally, assistant superintendent. His wife, the former Susan Gilliam (born February 9, 1951), also a ULM graduate, is a president of Chase Bank in Ouachita Parish and the only female bank president in North Louisiana.
The Hoffmanns have two sons, Matthew Thomas Hoffmann (born 1984) and Drew Hoffmann (born 1989). Hoffmann is active in the First Baptist Church of West Monroe and is chairman of the board of directors of his church's television ministry, KWMS-TV, Channel 17.
Hoffmann is vice chairman of the House Education Committee and also serves on the Retirement and Ways and Means committees. He is also a member of the Joint Legislative Committee on Capital Outlay and the Legislative Rural Caucus.
He was initially elected to the state House when the retiring Republican Representative Mike Walsworth, also of West Monroe, was elected to the Louisiana State Senate. In the October 20, 2007, nonpartisan blanket primary, Hoffmann led a field of five candidates with 5,962 votes (44 percent). The runner-up was fellow Republican Paul B. Hargrove (born November 17, 1960) of West Monroe, who polled 4,230 votes (24 percent). Three other candidates, a Republican and two Democrats, shared the remaining 32 percent of the ballots. Hargrove elected not to contest the general election held on November 17, and Hoffmann hence secured the seat in the first round of voting.
