Clyde Cecil Holloway (November 28, 1943 – October 16, 2016) was an American politician, small business owner, and member of the Republican Party who – at his death – served as one of five members of the Louisiana Public Service Commission. After seven years in office he did not seek reelection to the PSC in the primary election held of November 8, 2016, in conjunction with the presidential election.
Holloway previously was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the since defunct Alexandria-based 8th congressional district from 1987 to 1993 and was the first Republican in the 20th century to represent the northern part of his state in Congress. He won three consecutive elections to the U.S. House from a historically Democratic district. He ran unsuccessfully for governor in 1991, having finished fourth in the nonpartisan blanket primary; the ultimate victor was former Governor Edwin Edwards. After redistricting in 1992, Holloway's district was abolished and he ran in the 6th congressional district against fellow Republican incumbent Richard Baker, but he narrowly lost the runoff for that position. He ran unsuccessful campaigns for the 7th congressional district in 1994, the 5th congressional district in 1996, 2002, 2013, 2014, and for lieutenant governor in 2003.
