Thomas Phillip Willmott, known as Tom Willmott (born February 22, 1960), is an attorney and registered nurse from Metairie and Kenner, Louisiana, who is a Republican former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 92 in Jefferson Parish in the New Orleans suburbs. In 2016, Willmott was elected to the Kenner City Council.
Willmott's place of birth, most family members, and religious affiliation are not included on the political websites. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, and a Juris Doctor from the Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge. He also holds the A.D. nursing degree from Louisiana State University. A graduate of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Training Academy, Willmott is a former sheriff's reserve deputy. He has practiced law since the early 1990s and has worked in several hospitals as a nurse. He is a member of both the Louisiana State Bar and Nurses associations.
Willmott nearly won outright the three-candidate nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 20, 2007, to succeed the term-limited Democrat, Glenn Ansardi, who never again faced an opponent after the 1991 primary. Willmot led with 3,750 votes (46 percent). Fellow Republican Michael McMyne trailed with 2,593 votes (31.8 percent). Democrat Michael Austin trailed with 1,802 votes (22.1 percent). In the November 17 general election, Willmott defeated McMyne, 3,563 (65 percent) to 1,912 (34.9 percent). The New Orleans Times-Picayune endorsed McMyne before the primary, but the Democrat Austin supported Willmott in the general election.
