Timeline

1957

Oliver M. Thomas, Jr. (born February 10, 1957), is a Democratic politician, actor, writer, and poet from New Orleans.

1982

In 1982, Thomas received a bachelor's degree in business studies from the College of Santa Fe, a liberal arts institution in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

After graduation, he spent several years on the East Coast working as an account executive for a travel company.

1985

He returned to New Orleans in 1985, where he worked as a substitute teacher and began volunteering in a number of political campaigns.

Following his divorce from Angelle Laraque, with whom he shares a daughter, Leah, and a son, Bradley, who has passed away, he entered into marriage with Jasmine Thomas.

The couple has since been blessed with a son named Oliver "Ollie" Thomas III and gained a daughter, Willow.

Thomas began his political career as a member of BOLD, a political organization based in New Orleans's Central City neighborhood.

1986

A protégé of BOLD leader and longtime city councilor Jim Singleton, Thomas was appointed a legislative aide to Singleton in 1986.

He then worked as a capital projects manager for the city's Downtown Development District, and as a property manager for a firm in private industry.

1994

He served on the New Orleans City Council from 1994 to 2007.

Thomas was first elected to City Council in 1994, representing District B – a district which includes BOLD's home neighborhood of Central City as well as the Central Business District and parts of Mid-City and Uptown.

2001

In late 2001 and early 2002, Thomas took $15,000 in kickbacks from Stan "Pampy" Barre, a local businessman and associate of then-mayor Marc Morial.

Barre owned a company which operated a number of French Quarter parking lots under contract with the city, and paid Thomas in order to ensure that the Morial-era contracts would be renewed under the incoming administration.

Thomas agreed to Barre's terms, but also demanded and received one-third of the parking profits in kickbacks through one of his associates.

2002

He served as councilor for this district for two terms before being elected to an at-large seat in 2002.

While on city council, Thomas developed a reputation as a capable, responsive elected official; he gained a high level of popularity among both black and white voters.

His popularity was confirmed in both the elections of 2002 and 2006, when he was elected with a margin wide enough to avoid needing a runoff.

He won with 88% of the vote in 2002 and was re-elected with 78% of the vote in 2006.

Oliver Thomas played himself in multiple episodes in Season 2 of HBO's Treme. In the show, a fictionalized version of events is told, set in 2007, taking place just before his real-life arrest for bribery in 2007.

In August 2010, he was allowed to return to his home and serve the remainder of his sentence under home confinement.

His sentence was officially completed on September 8, 2010, having been reduced for good behavior while he was incarcerated.
