Brett Frank Geymann (born December 8, 1961) is a businessman from Lake Charles, Louisiana, who is a Republican former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 35 in Calcasieu and Beauregard parishes.
He is a candidate for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district seat in the primary election scheduled for November 8, 2016; the position is held by Republican Charles Boustany, who is instead running for the United States Senate for the seat vacated by David Vitter. His principal opponents include Scott Angelle, a member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission from Breaux Bridge and Clay Higgins, a Crime Stoppers reporter known for his harsh attacks on the criminal element.
Geymann is a native of Lake Charles who later moved to Beauregard Parish. He graduated from South Beauregard High School. Geymann holds a Bachelor of Science degree in finance from McNeese State University in Lake Charles. He is a small business owner.
In 2003, Geymann was elected to the state House to succeed the retiring Republican-turned-Independent Vic Stelly, author of the Stelly Plan, a since overturned sales tax/state income tax transfer arrangement. Geymann initially won the House seat with nearly 54 percent of the vote over two Democratic challengers.
