Jeremy Stine (Republican Party) is a member of the Louisiana State Senate, representing District 27. He assumed office on December 3, 2021. His current term ends on January 10, 2028.
He was elected majority leader in December 2023 after the former leader, State Sen. Sharon Hewitt (R), retired.
Stine was born in 1980 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. He received a degree in political science and French from Louisiana State University.[1][2][3]

Stine said, "[f]irst and foremost, my Christian values are the guiding force in my life. I will always stand to defend our religious liberties and protect your right to worship."[5] He also said his priorities as Senate leader were "streamlining operations and fostering deeper public engagement, centering on key principles such as individual freedom, smaller government, the rule of law, fiscal responsibility, free markets, and human dignity."[6]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
