Elected to his first term in 2000 and returning, unopposed, for another 4-year term in 2004 to the EBR Parish Metropolitan Council, Mike Walker serves the citizens of District 8 which includes a number of the more established neighborhoods in the Baton Rouge area. Mike’s priorities are to improve area infrastructure, encourage economic development and insure that the security of our residents is constantly in the forefront of legislative actions. He relies on his background in City-Parish government and business to accomplish these goals.

At age 59, Mike has already worked as one of the top officials in City-Parish government having served as Chief Administrative Officer for Mayor-President “Woody” Dumas from 1972 to 1976. Also during the Dumas tenure, he worked as Assistant Director of the Mayor-President’s Council on Youth Opportunity from 1978 to 1980.

Mike also served the past 3 Clerks of Court as their Personnel Coordinator and as Training Officer for the 19th Judicial District Court where he coordinated the activities of 300 employees.

Mike has long been active in the community. In 1973, he was one of the original signers of the Council on Aging Charter and served as its first Chairman of the Board and again served in that capacity from 2002 to October, 2004. He has also served as first President of the 10-parish Agency on Aging, on the Personnel Board of BREC, the Alcohol Beverage Control Board, as a Past-President of the Southeast Florida Civic Assn., as a former member of the Board of Election Supervisors, as a former Vice-Chairman of the EBR Parish Republican Party Executive Committee, as Chairman of the EBR Council’s Finance & Executive Committee, Capital Improvements Committee and spearheaded a fund-raising committee to support the BR Symphony.

Presently, Mike is on the Capital Improvements Committee, the Capitol Region Planning Commission and the Industrial Development Board.

Mike is a graduate of Broadmoor High School in Baton Rouge. He attended Louisiana Tech and LSU, majoring in Political Science with a minor in History. Mike and his wife, Marie, reside in River Oaks Subdivision and have 3 grown children.
