Benjamin Casanas Toledano, known as Ben Toledano or Ben C. Toledano (born September 7, 1932), is an attorney, author, and former politician originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, who has resided since 1991 in Pass Christian, Mississippi. In 1970, he was the Republican nominee for Mayor of New Orleans; two years later, he carried his party's banner for the United States Senate in a failed campaign against the Democrat J. Bennett Johnston, Jr.
In 1957, Toledano was licensed to practice law in Louisiana. In 1967, he was the second partner in Porteous, Toledano, Hainkel, and Johnson, then the second oldest law firm in Louisiana specializing throughout its history in insurance defense. Law partner John Hainkel, a Democrat-turned-Republican, was later the only man until 2012 to have served as both Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives and President of the Louisiana State Senate.
Originally a Democrat, Toledano in 1960 joined the Louisiana States' Rights Party, a conservatie, segregationist group which offered electors separate from the national Republican and Democratic presidential nominees, Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy. Though Kennedy won the electoral votes of Louisiana, the combined Nixon and States Rights slates represented a majority of the ballots.
