Ryan Eugene Gatti (born June 1974)[1] is an attorney from Bossier City, Louisiana, who is a Republican member of the Louisiana State Senate for District 36, which encompasses Bossier, Webster, Bienville, and Claiborne parishes in the northwestern portion of the state. On January 11, 2016, he succeeded fellow Republican Robert Roy Adley, who was term-limited after thirteen years in the Senate.
Gatti narrowly defeated fellow Republican Henry Burns, a retired military officer, Bossier City businessman, and a departing two-term member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, originally from Shongaloo in Webster Parish. Gatti polled 14,023 votes (50.6 percent) to Burns' 13,698 (49.4 percent).[2]
In his campaign, Gatti ran as a strong intraparty critic of term-limited and failed presidential candidate Governor Bobby Jindal. He is also a close friend of incoming Democrat Governor John Bel Edwards, whom he met at the Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge. Edwards campaigned at Gatti's law office in 2014.
Gatti graduated in 1992 from Airline High School in Bossier City. He was actually in Haiti on a mission trip at the time of his election to the state Senate.
In 2017, Gatti's brother, Robert Hal "Robbie" Gatti, Jr. (born March 1970), lost a special runoff election for the District 8 seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives to fill the seat vacated by U.S. Representative James Michael "Mike" Johnson of Benton, Louisiana. Raymond Crews was elected to succeed Johnson. He polled 3,845 votes (64 percent) to Gatti's 2,150 (36 percent).[3]
