John Calvin Fleming, Jr. (born July 5, 1951), is an American politician, physician, and businessman who is the deputy assistant secretary for health technology in the Donald Trump administration. He reports to Secretary Tom Price of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Earlier, as members of the United States House of Representatives, Fleming and Price were Republican colleagues.
From 2009 to January 3, 2017, Fleming was the representative for Louisiana's 4th congressional district. His residence is in his adopted city of Minden in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. A second cousin (five generations removed) to the former House Speaker Henry Clay of Kentucky, Fleming is a member of Sons of the American Revolution and Jamestowne Society; he is only the second Republican to hold his House seat since Reconstruction, the first was his predecessor, Jim McCrery.
Fleming's position at HHS did not require Senate confirmation. The former congressman said that he will work in his new position to establish newer digital filing systems os as to increase productivity in physicians' offices and to enhance competition in the technical industry. Despite his 2016 defeat for the United States Senate seat vacated by fellow Republican David Vitter, Fleming has not ruled out another run for elected office. The seat that he sought went instead to another Republican, John Neely Kennedy.
