Jennifer Sneed Heebe (born December 1966) is a Republican former politician who resides in New Orleans, Louisiana. She served nearly five years, from 1999 to 2004, as a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for suburban Jefferson Parish. Thereafter, she was twice elected to the District 5 seat on the Jefferson Parish Council.
Heebe is a former television reporter in Monroe in Ouachita Parish in northeast Louisiana and a former tourism director for Jefferson Parish. She is married to Frederick Riley Heebe (born December 1952), a prominent real estate developer who is also engaged in the landfill business and the son of Frederick Jacob Reagan Heebe, the late Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, who was first appointed in 1966. Jennifer Heebe resigned at the beginning of her second term on the Jefferson Parish Council in 2008, when she and her husband purchased a mansion on St. Charles Avenue in the Uptown section of New Orleans. She added that the demands of rearing their twin daughters, Sarah and Anna, made it unlikely that she would ever return to the political arena. Heebe is a cancer survivor.
On March 27, 1999, voters chose in state House District 81 a successor to David Vitter, who was elected to the United States House of Representatives for Louisiana's 1st congressional district following the resignation of Republican Bob Livingston. Sneed, as she was then known, led a 14-candidate field with 1,619 votes (16.8 percent). She was then placed into a runoff contest with fellow Republican Ben Slater, who polled 1,405 votes (14.5 percent). In third place was another Republican, Eric Skrmetta, subsequently an elected member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission. In the second round of balloting, Sneed prevailed, 6,670 (52.6 percent) to Slater's 6,021 (47.4 percent). Sneed was unopposed for a full term in the House in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 23, 1999.
