Allen Bares Senator

Allen Ray Bares, Sr. (September 24, 1936 – August 14, 2008) was a Lafayette lawyer who served as a conservative Democrat in both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature between 1972 and 1992. He is particularly remembered for his strong support of the pro-life cause and the Boy Scouts of America. He was the State Senate President from 1988 to 1990, during the first half of the administration of former Governor Buddy Roemer, a Democrat who turned Republican in 1991. Senators removed Bares as president in 1990 in a rare show of opposition to the governor.
