Christopher Jude Roy Jr. (born 1962), is an attorney in Alexandria, Louisiana, who is a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 25 in Rapides and Vernon parishes. The district includes two institutions of higher education, Louisiana College and Louisiana State University at Alexandria, and Fort Polk, the large United States Army base in western Louisiana.
Roy's father, Christopher Roy Sr. (born 1936), is also an Alexandria attorney who was a law partner of the late Camille Gravel in the former firm of Gravel, Roy, and Burnes. Roy is the older brother of Alexandria Mayor Jacques Roy, also a Democrat, who was elected in 2006 and again in 2010.
In 1980, Roy graduated from the Holy Savior Menard Central High School in Alexandria. In 1984, he received a Bachelor of Science in political science from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He received his Juris Doctor degree in 1987 from the Southern University Law Center, also in Baton Rouge. He and his wife, Lelia, have three children: Madeleine, Christopher III, and John.
Had he sought a second term in the state House, Roy would have faced two Republicans in the October 22 nonpartisan blanket primary, Lance Harris and Barett Byrd of Woodworth in south Rapides Parish, a graduate of the University of Arkansas and a retired colonel in the United States Marine Corps. Harris, an Alexandria businessman, defeated Byrd in the primary, 7,577 (55.5 percent) to 6,088 (44.6 percent) and will hence succeed Roy in the legislature.
