- Charles_Cusimano abstract "Charles Vincent Cusimano, II, known as Chuck Cusimano (born 1954) is a Republican politician from Metairie in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.Cusimano is the son of Charles Cusimano, I, a New Orleans native (born September 29, 1927), and the former Violet Taranto (born 1928). In addition to their one son, Charles, II, the Cusimanos had three daughters, Lisa Brewer, Jan Simon, and Cathy Daigle. The senior Cusimano is an engineering graduate of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, a former member of the LSU Board of Supervisors, and the founder of Energy Corporation of America. Cusimano, I, has also been active in Republican Party affairs and was a major fund raiser for former Governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster, Jr. Cusimano was already contributing to the Ronald W. Reagan campaign in 1980, while his son was a Democrat in the state legislature.At the age of twenty-five, just as he launched his law practice, Cusimano was elected in 1979 as a Democrat to the District 81 seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives. He switched to Republican affiliation at the start of his second term, 1984-1988. He served on the House committees on Criminal Justice, Civil Law, and Natural Resources. On October 24, 1987, he was elected again, having defeated fellow Republican Steve Little, 9,650 (65.2 percent) to 5,165 (34.8 percent) in the nonpartisan blanket primary.Cusimano was described by his House colleague, Ron Gomez of Lafayette, as "a diminitive firebrand from Metairie." In House debate over the New Orleans Saints's lease of the Louisiana Superdome, Cusimano proposed an amendment that would restrict the team's concession revenues to a minimum level, after which the proceeds would be split 50-50 with the state. The amendment, strongly opposed by the Saints' owner, Tom Benson, appeared to have passed until Governor Edwin Washington Edwards, in an unprecedented move, came to the chamber to plead with the lawmakers to reverse themselves. Edwards claimed that the Cusimano amendment would cause the Saints, then a repeatedly losing team, to leave New Orleans and practically make the state the laughingstock of the nation. After the visibly shaken Edwards spoke, Representative Raymond Laborde of Marksville, his friend from childhood, stepped to the microphone and moved that the previous amendment be deleted. No debate was allowed on the previous question, and Benson and Edwards prevailed.Cusimano resigned from the legislature in 1988 to become a 24th Judicial District Court judge, a position that he held from 1988-2007. His resignation from the legislature triggered a special election in District 81. Several Republicans sought to succeed Representative Cusimano, including future Louisiana Republican Party state chairman Roger F. Villere, Jr., a Metairie floral shop owner. However, the two candidates who reached the runoff were John S. Treen, brother of former Governor David C. Treen, and David Duke, nationally known as a former figure in the Ku Klux Klan. Duke narrowly won the race over Treen, who enjoyed the backing of most state and national Republicans, including U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush and former President Reagan, who opposed Duke's candidacy. Duke claimed that Treen, if elected, was willing to see property tax increases in the suburban New Orleans district. Among those working in the John Treen campaign was Beth Rickey of New Orleans, a moderate member of the Republican State Central Committee who later exposed Duke's continuing neo-Nazi ties.In 1998, Cusimano ran for the Louisiana Supreme Court, a ten-year term, against Justice Pascal F. Calogero, Jr., a Democrat. Calogero led with 77,766 votes (49.5 percent), and Cusimano polled 64,711 ballots (41.2 percent). A third candidate held the remaining 8 percent of the vote. Cusimano decided not to contest the general election.On the district court, Judge Cusimano was instrumental in revamping the criminaljustice computer system. In 2006, he did not seek reelection and was succeeded by Republican Cornelius E. "Conn" Regan, a narrow winner over Danyelle Taylor, also a Republican. In 2008, Cusimano was unopposed for the Fifth Justice of the Peace Court in Jefferson Parish. Cusimano said that he will modernize justice-of-the-peace operations, with electronic case management to allow litigants to file electronically and monitor the status of their case via the Internet.Cusimano and his wife, Kathleen F. Cusimano (born 1955), have eight children.".
