Rodney Wayne Schamerhorn (born January 11, 1955) is an American politician and businessman serving as a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from the 24th district.
He founded an eponymous company, Schamerhorn, Inc., in 1984, which offers trucking, demolition, and waste management services.[2][3][4]
Schamerhorn contested the 2015 jungle primary for the Louisiana House of Representatives, and did not unseat district 24 incumbent Frank A. Howard.[5] In September 2019,[3] Schamerhorn announced that he would contest Howard's seat for a second time, as Howard was subject to term limits. In the 2019 jungle primary, Schamerhorn faced fellow Republican Gregory Lord and political independent Willie Banks.[6] By winning a simple majority of the vote, Schamerhorn was elected Howard's successor.[7][8] Schamerhorn was sworn into office on January 13, 2020.[4]
Schamerhorn is a member of the House Rural Caucus and Republican Delegation.[2]
