Harvey Bernard LeBas, known as Bernard LeBas or H. Bernard LeBas (born September 1943), is a pharmacist from Ville Platte, Louisiana, who is a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 38. Since 2008, he has represented Evangeline and St. Landry parishes in the southern portion of his state. He was unopposed for a third term in the state elections held on October 24, 2015.
LeBas graduated in 1961 from then Roman Catholic Sacred Heart High School in Ville Platte. In 1968, he received his pharmacy degree from the University of Louisiana at Monroe, then known as Northeast Louisiana State College. LeBas owns four pharmacies in Evangeline and St. Landry parishes. His father, brother, two of his sons, and a daughter-in-law were or are pharmacists. He is a past president of the Louisiana Pharmaceutical Association.
LeBas is a former resident of Lafayette and Youngsville, both in Lafayette Parish.
As a newcomer to politics, LeBas was unopposed in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 20, 2007, for the District 38 House seat vacated by his fellow Democrat, Eric LaFleur, who ran instead successfully for the District 28 seat in the Louisiana State Senate. To gain a second term in 2011, LeBas defeated two Republican opponents, Julie Kay Disotell Harrington (born November 1970) of Melville in St. Landry Parish and Peter Anthony Vidrine(born November 1957), also of Ville Platte. Formerly affiliated with the John Birch Society and the Ron Paul presidential campaign in 2012, Vidrine subsequently joined the Constitution Party. In 1996, Vidrine ran for Louisiana's 7th congressional district seat, since disbanded, but victory went to the Democrat, Chris John of Crowley in Acadia Parish.
