John Patrick Connick, known as Patrick Connick (born March 1961), is an attorney in Marrero, Louisiana, who has been since 2008 a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 84 in suburban Jefferson Parish. He is the younger brother of Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick, the nephew of former Orleans Parish District Attorney and singer Harry Connick, Sr., and a first cousin of singer/actor Harry Connick, Jr.
In 1979, Connick graduated from Archbishop Shaw High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1983 from the Catholic Loyola University in New Orleans. Ten years later, in 1993, Connick received his Juris Doctor degree from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.
For his first term in the House, Connick, who had no previous political experience, ran without opposition in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 20, 2007, for the seat vacated by the three-term Democrat N.J. Damico. He serves on these House committees: (1) Appropriations, (2) Governmental Affairs, (3) Judiciary, (4) Executive, and (5) Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget.
In 2010, Connick supported the conservative Louisiana Family Forum 80 percent of the time, compared to 100 percent in 2009. He received 100 percent from the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry in 2010 but only 58 percent in 2009. He was rated 100% in 2009 by the Louisiana Right to Life Federation.
