Troy Michael Hebert (born April 19, 1966) is a politician from Jeanerette, Louisiana, who is the Commissioner of the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC). Hebert was appointed commissioner by Republican Governor Bobby Jindal. He has served in the Louisiana House of Representatives and Louisiana State Senate.
Hebert served from 1991 to 1995 on the Iberia Parish Council, equivalent to county commission in most other states, before being elected for three terms as a Democrat to the Louisiana House. Hebert served as chairman of the House Insurance Committee before being removed in March 2004 by the Speaker Joe R. Salter after Hebert voted against the renewal of a tax on business utilities.
In 2007, Hebert was term limited in the state House from District 49 (Iberia and Vermilion parishes). He was elected as a Democrat to represent District 22 in the State Senate. He won the general election over Republican Jeff Landry, 52-48 percent. In 2010, Landry was elected to the United States House of Representatives to succeed candidate Charlie Melancon, who lost the U.S. Senate race to David Vitter. After his election, Hebert was appointed chairman of the Senate Environment Committee.
