Wendell Jay Luneau is an American politician from Pineville, Louisiana. A Democrat, Luneau has represented District 29 in the Louisiana State Senate since 2016.[1][2][3] Luneau is currently running for re-election.[4]

Career

Before entering elected office, Luneau opened the Luneau Law Office in Alexandria. Still in operation, the law office represents small businesses and individuals in workers compensation, personal injury, and damage claims cases.[5] Luneau won 59.34% of the vote in the October 24, 2015 jungle primary over Republican Joseph Dara.[6] Winning re-election on October 12, 2019, Luneau received 61.46% of votes in the primary election, against Republican opponent Randy Wiggins.[7]

Luneau, an adjunct professor at Northwestern State University and former magistrate judge in Ball, first ran for elected office after predecessor Rick Gallot declined to run for re-election to spend more time with his family.[8]
