Charles Boustany (born February 21, 1956) represents Louisiana's 7th Congressional District as a Republican since winning an open race in 2004. Chris John, the incumbent Democrat, did not seek re-election in order to run for US Senate; therefore, Boustany, 2 Democrats and another Republican vied for the House seat. Boustany won 39% with the next highest vote-getter being State Sen. Willie Mount (Democrat) who got 25%. Under Louisiana's open primary system, in the event no candidate wins over 50% of the vote, a runoff is conducted between the two top candidates. In the resulting December 4th runoff election, Boustany defeated Sen. Mount 55% to 45%.
Boustany is a surgeon and is married to the former Bridget Edwards. He is one of 10 children.
