Barry Scott Milligan (born 1970) is the incoming District 38 state senator for Caddo and DeSoto parishes in northwestern Louisiana. In the nonpartisan blanket primary on October 12, 2019, with 51 percent of the total votes cast, he defeated two Democrats, including the one-term incumbent John Milkovich, who finished second with 26 percent of the vote, barely half of Milligan's share of the vote.[1][2]
A businessman and banker, Milligan was born in Rayne in Acadia Parish, where he spent time as boy with a grandmother who founded the Louisiana Frog Festival. He moved with his family to Shreveport in 1982 and graduate in 1988 from Captain Shreve High School and then obtained a bachelor's degree in business management from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond in Tangipahoa Parish. He then received a Master of Business Administration from Centenary College in Shreveport. Milligan and his wife, the former Kristin Crew, an educator whom he married in 1994, have two living daughters, Madison Oliver and Chandler Milligan. A third daughter, Katherine, is deceased. They are affiliated with Southwood Baptist Church, an Independent congregation in Shreveport.[3]
Milligan campaigned as a strong conservative, pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and "not a career politician." He also called for the state to gain control over its spending of limited taxpayer resources.[3]
