Not to be confused with another Louisiana state representative, Ronald Anthony Faucheux, of New Orleans

Robert Ronald Faucheux, Jr., known as Bobby Faucheux (born November 28, 1950), is a lawyer from LaPlace in suburban St. John the Baptist Parish near New Orleans, Louisiana, who served from 1996 to 2008 as a Democrat in the Louisiana House of Representatives.^[1]

In November 1995, Faucheux defeated his fellow Democrat, Lloyd B. Johnson, 8,824 votes (51.1 percent) to 8,443 (48.9 percent) ^[2] to claim the seat vacated by another Democrat, Joseph Accardo, Jr.^[3]

Faucheux was a member of the Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Natural Resources committees and the Joint Committee on Capital Outlay.^[4] His first two terms of service corresponded with the two terms of Republican Governor Mike Foster. His District 57 included St. John the Baptist and St. James parishes. He served from 1996 to 2008 in the Louisiana House of Representatives serving three consecutive terms. Term limits prevented "Bobby" from seeking a fourth term. The district now includes St. John the Baptist and St. Charles parishes.

He received his Bachelor of Science degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and his Juris Doctorate from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. Prior to 2005, he maintained a second office in Gramercy in St. James Parish. Faucheux is a member of the Louisiana Association of Trial Lawyers. He served as a captain in the United States Army, a position which he left in 1978. He is Roman Catholic and is married to the former Darlene Anne Bourgeois.^[4] He currently practices law with his son, Christophe Faucheux, in Laplace, LA.
