Major Thibaut Jr. (born January 3, 1977) is an insurance investment planner from Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, who has been a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 18 since 2008. The district encompasses Iberville, West Baton Rouge, West Feliciana, and Pointe Coupee parishes. Thibaut is known for his efforts to obtain infrastructure improvements in his largely rural district.
Thibaut graduated in 1995 from Catholic High School of Pointe Coupee Parish and in 1999 from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. In his business, he is a member of the Million Dollar Roundtable, a landmark for successful insurance sales. He is also affiliated with the American Quarter Horse Association, Lions International, the Chamber of Commerce, and the National Rifle Association.
On September 30, 2006, Thibaut was elected to the District F seat on the Pointe Coupee Parish School Board over two other Democrats.
On November 4, 2008, Thibaut narrowly won a special election for House District 18, when he defeated another Democrat, Troy Grezaffi, 9,177 (51.8 percent) to 8,548 (48.2 percent), to fill the seat vacated earlier in the year by Democrat Don Cazayoux of New Roads, the seat of government of Pointe Coupee Parish. That same day Cazayoux, the interim U.S. Representative for Louisiana's 6th congressional district, lost his race for a full term to the Republican physician, Bill Cassidy of Baton Rouge, subsequently one of Louisiana's two United States senators.
