John Frank LaBruzzo (born July 6, 1970) is a businessman from Metairie, Louisiana, who is a Republican former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 81 in Jefferson Parish. LaBruzzo occupied the legislative district formerly held by Charles Cusimano, David Duke, and David Vitter. However, effective in January 2012, part of the district, including LaBruzzo's "Bucktown" residence, merged into neighboring District 94 in New Orleans.
A New Orleans native, LaBruzzo graduated from the Roman Catholic boarding and day school, St. Stanislaus, located in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He is employed in the fields of medical equipment and real estate sales.
LaBruzzo and his wife, the former Brandi M. Davison, originally from Baton Rouge, reside in Metairie with their young daughters, Ava and Emme LaBruzzo. He had immediately begun campaigning for the District 94 seat upon the close of the 2011 legislative session.
District 81 formerly included a section of Metairie, a large unincorporated area of Jefferson Parish, near the storied 17th Street Canal, which was breached in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The district consisted of the mostly residential neighborhoods of "Bucktown" (until redistricting moved this area to District 94), "Hog Alley," and "Old Metairie."
