Michael John Michot, known as Mike Michot (born December 12, 1963), is a Republican former member of the Louisiana State Senate. He represented District 23 (Lafayette Parish) from 2000 to 2012. He was the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Michot was unopposed for his third Senate term in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 20, 2007. He served in District 43 in the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1996 to 2000. He was elected as a Democrat to the House but switched parties on June 23, 1997, not quite midway in his term.
Michot was born in Lafayette to Louis Joseph Michot, Jr., and the former Patricia Ann Smith (1926–2011) a week after his father, then a state representative, ran unsuccessfully for governor of Louisiana in the 1963 Democratic primary. The two leading candidates who emerged from the primary were former New Orleans Mayor deLesseps Story Morrison and the winner of the runoff primary, John J. McKeithen of tiny Columbia in north Louisiana. Louis Michot rebounded to served on the elected State Board of Education and as state education superintendent (1972–1976), having ousted the legendary William J. "Bill" Dodd in the 1971 primary. Michot has seven living siblings.
