Edward Clark James, II, also known as Ted James (born June 1981), is an attorney from his native Baton Rouge, Louisiana, who is a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 101 in East Baton Rouge Parish. He was first elected in 2011.
James graduated from the historically black McKinley Senior High School, Southern University, from which he received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, and Southern University Law Center, from which he earned his Juris Doctor degree. All of these institutions are in Baton Rouge. James is a Baptist.
District 101 was based in Orleans Parish in the 2007 election, when Democrat Cedric Richmond was elected as the U.S. Representative for Louisiana's 2nd congressional district. When Richmond went to Congress, Wesley T. Bishop, another Democrat, won the District 101 seat, but Bishop was moved the following year to District 99, for which he remains the representative.
