Timeline

1914

His paternal grandparents were Jules Joseph Cazayoux Jr. (1914–2010), who was employed by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, and the late Ida Belle Glynn Cazayoux.

1964

Donald Jules Cazayoux Jr. (born January 17, 1964) is an American lawyer and former politician.

1974

Cazayoux was the first Democrat to represent the 6th since four-term incumbent John Rarick was defeated in the 1974 Democratic primary.

1982

A Roman Catholic, he graduated from the Catholic High School of Pointe Coupee in 1982.

He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and a Juris Doctor from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. After finishing his studies, Cazayoux practiced law and then became a prosecutor for Pointe Coupee Parish.

1986

He married Cherie Chavanne in 1986, and they have three children, Michael, Chavanne, and Katie.

Cazayoux is a distant relative of the late Lindy Boggs, former US Representative and US Ambassador.

1987

The seat was won that fall by Republican Henson Moore, who held it for twelve years before giving way to Baker in 1987.

1999

Cazayoux was first elected to the state legislature in 1999.

He represented District 18, a heavily Democratic district that includes his home in Pointe Coupee Parish as well as Iberville, West Baton Rouge, and West Feliciana parishes.

In the legislature, he became one of the few freshmen ever appointed to the powerful Appropriations Committee.

He also worked for passage of laws to assist law enforcement in cracking down on child sexual predators.

Cazayoux announced his candidacy for the 6th District shortly after Baker resigned.

With the strong backing of the national party, he easily defeated fellow state representative Michael L. Jackson, who represents a portion of Baton Rouge, in the Democratic primary.

2002

Cazayoux is a former president of the New Roads branch of the Lions Club (2002–2003).

2008

From 2008 to 2009, he was a Democratic United States Representative from Louisiana's 6th congressional district.

He won a special election held on May 3, 2008, to fill the seat vacated on Republican Congressman Richard H. Baker.

He defeated Republican nominee Woody Jenkins and was sworn in on May 6, 2008.

In the regularly-scheduled general election held later that year, Cazayoux ran for re-election but was defeated by the Republican nominee, State Senator Bill Cassidy.

A native of New Roads, Cazayoux is the son of Donald J. and Ann Cazayoux.

Cazayoux lost his attempt for a full term in November 2008 to State Senator Bill Cassidy, who took 48 percent of the vote to Cazayoux's 40 percent.

Jackson ran again, this time as an independent with funding from long-time Cassidy supporter Lane Grigsby.

He finished third, garnering 36,133 votes, more than the 25,000-vote margin between Cassidy and Cazayoux, suggesting that he siphoned off many African-American votes that would have otherwise gone to Cazayoux and threw the election to Cassidy.

The Daily Kingfish published photos of Jackson meeting with Congressman-elect Cassidy just three days after the election.

Cazayoux was one of five incumbent House Democrats to be defeated in the 2008 congressional elections, along with Nancy Boyda (D-KS), William J. Jefferson (D-LA), Nick Lampson (D-TX), and Tim Mahoney (D-FL).

Cazayoux is considered a moderate-to-conservative Democrat, which is typical for most Louisiana Democrats outside New Orleans.

He calls himself "a John Breaux Democrat."

2010

He served as the United States Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana from 2010 to 2013.

In April 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama nominated Cazayoux as United States Attorney for the Middle District of Louisiana, following a recommendation by U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu from May 2009.
