Robert Ermon Shadoin, known principally as Rob Shadoin (born August 24, 1953), is a Republican current member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 12, which includes Lincoln and Union parishes in North Louisiana. He is an attorney in Ruston, Louisiana.
In 1971, Shadoin graduated from Ruston High School and in 1975 obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Louisiana Tech University, at which he a member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. In 1978, he received his Juris Doctor degree from Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge. From 1991 to 1994, Shadoin served as the Ruston city attorney. From 1994 to 2006, he was a member of the Lincoln Parish School Board. Shadoin and his wife, the former Carol Brasuell, have four children.
Shadoin defeated fellow Republican, Jason Paul Bullock (born 1977), also of Ruston, in the general election held on November 19, 2011, to choose a successor to Republican Hollis Downs, a professor at Louisiana Tech University. In a low-turnout contest, Shadoin received 4,186 votes (54.4 percent) to Bullock's 3,513 votes (45.6 percent). In the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 22, Bullock had led the balloting with 45 percent, with Shadoin trailing at 39 percent. A third Republican candidate, Jacob "Jake" Halley, of Farmerville, a consultant with an emergency preparedness company, held the remaining but critical 16 percent of the primary vote. No Democrat sought the position. Halley emphasized the need to promote tourism in both parishes; Bullock, who operates a business that rents construction equipment, the importance of small business, and Shadoin, his legal and political experience and a call for streamling and repeal of unnecessary laws.
