Tanner Daniel Magee (born July 30, 1980)[1] is a criminal defense lawyer in his native Houma in Terrebonne Parish in south Louisiana, who is a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. On January 11, 2016, he succeeded fellow Republican Lenar Whitney, whom he unseated in the runoff election held on November 21, 2015.
Magee is a graduate of Louisiana State University, from which he obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology and a Master of Public Administration, and the LSU Law School, both in the capital city of Baton Rouge. He practices with the Houma firm of Taylor Wellons Politz & Duhe.[2][3]
In the primary election on October 24, 2015, Magee led Whitney by nine votes, 3,073 (34.35 percent) to her 3,064 (34.25 percent). The Democratic candidate, Brenda Leroux Babin, polled the remaining bur crucial 2,809 ballots (31.4 percent).[4]
In the second round of balloting in conjunction with the victory of the Democrat John Bel Edwards as governor, Magee handily unseated Whitney, 4,978 votes (60.8 percent) to 3,206 votes (39.2 percent).[5] Whitney was seeking her second term in the state House. She had been among the defeated candidates in the 2014 race for Louisiana's 6th congressional district seat, which was won by another Republican, Garret Graves, who succeeded Bill Cassidy upon Cassidy's election to the United States Senate in the race against Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu.
Magee and his wife, the former Kristen Lora Balhoff (born May 14, 1990), are the parents of triplet daughters. They reside in Theriot, sixteen miles south of Houma.[6]
