Brach Jerad Myers was born and raised in Louisiana and attended Opelousas Catholic High School, graduating in 1999. He later pursued a career in healthcare management and corporate development, eventually becoming Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at LHC Group, a national provider of home health care services. His professional background in healthcare and business has influenced his legislative priorities, particularly in areas related to healthcare access, insurance, and workforce development.

Myers began his political career in the Louisiana House of Representatives, where he represented District 45 from January 2024 until March 2025. He succeeded Jean-Paul Coussan in the House and quickly established himself as a conservative voice focused on fiscal responsibility and economic growth. During his tenure, he emphasized policies that supported small businesses, improved healthcare delivery, and strengthened Louisiana’s workforce. His time in the House was relatively brief, as he transitioned to the Senate following a special election.

In February 2025, Myers won election to the Louisiana State Senate representing District 23, again succeeding Jean-Paul Coussan. His victory in the special election was seen as a continuation of Republican leadership in the district, which includes parts of Lafayette Parish. Myers defeated Jesse Regan in the race, securing his place in the Senate. His predecessor, Coussan, had vacated the seat, opening the path for Myers to advance his political career.

As a senator, Myers has been assigned to several committees, including Environmental Quality, Insurance, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Retirement. These committee roles allow him to influence legislation across a broad spectrum of policy areas, from environmental regulation and labor rights to retirement systems and insurance oversight. His committee work reflects his interest in balancing economic development with regulatory responsibility, as well as ensuring that Louisiana’s workforce and retirees are supported through effective policy.

Myers’s legislative record demonstrates a consistent alignment with Republican priorities, including limited government, fiscal conservatism, and support for business-friendly policies. He has sponsored and co-sponsored numerous bills aimed at improving Louisiana’s economic competitiveness, streamlining regulatory processes, and enhancing healthcare delivery systems. His voting record shows strong alignment with other conservative members of the Senate, reflecting his commitment to advancing the Republican agenda in the state legislature.

Beyond his legislative work, Myers is known for his engagement with constituents and his emphasis on practical solutions to local challenges. His background in healthcare and corporate development provides him with a perspective that bridges business and public policy, enabling him to advocate for reforms that address both economic and social needs. He has consistently highlighted the importance of creating opportunities for Louisiana families, improving access to healthcare, and fostering a strong business environment.

Myers’s career trajectory—from healthcare executive to state legislator—illustrates his dedication to public service and his commitment to conservative principles. His role in the Louisiana State Senate positions him as an influential figure in shaping policy debates on healthcare, labor, insurance, and environmental quality. With his current term set to conclude in January 2028, Myers is expected to continue playing a significant role in the state’s legislative process, representing the interests of District 23 and contributing to the broader direction of Louisiana politics.
