John Brennan Hussey, Jr. (born May 29, 1934), an attorney who specializes in contracts, served for two terms from 1982 to 1990 as the Democratic mayor of his native Shreveport, Louisiana. Previously he was a one-term member of the Shreveport City Council and in 1980 presided as the council chairman.
Hussey graduated from the private elementary and junior high institution, the Southfield School in the South Highlands neighborhood of Shreveport and was inducted in 2008 into the Southfield hall of fame. He thereafter graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and in 1958 the Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge, at which he was managing editor of the LSU Law Review. Hussey was a captain of the Judge Advocate General's Corps, United States Army and the Army Reserve. He is affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce, the YMCA, the Council on Alcoholism, the Legal Aid Society, and the Shreveport Association for Children with Learning Disabilities.
In 1978, Hussey was elected to the Shreveport City Council under the new mayor-council single-member district plan. In a runoff election, he defeated a fellow Democrat, businessman William Hardy "Bill" Bush (1943-2014), with whom he later became friends.
