Paul Hollis Politician
Paul Bryan Hollis (born September 1, 1972) is a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from the revised 104th District in St. Tammany Parish in southeastern Louisiana. A son of the late State Senator Ken Hollis, Paul Hollis defeated fellow Republican Christopher Trahan, 3,905 votes (56 percent) to 3,096 (44 percent) in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 22, 2011.Hollis was an announced candidate for the United States Senate seat held by the Democrat Mary Landrieu in the primary scheduled for November 4, 2014, but in July, he withdrew from the race. Still in the running to oppose Landrieu are his fellow Republicans Bill Cassidy, a member of the United States House of Representatives from Louisiana's 6th congressional district, and Rob Manness, a retired military officer from Madisonville, who carries backing of elements of the Tea Party movement.After leaving the race, Hollis endorsed Cassidy for the Senate and later filed suit in state district court in Baton Rouge against Landrieu, having challenged her claim to a New Orleans residency. Hollins claims that Landrieu is a "full-time permanent inhabitant of the District of Columbia. ... By all measurable and legal standards, her actual domicile is her 2.5 million dollar residence on Capitol Hill, the only home she owns."
