Charles R. "Bubba" Chaney (born 1946) is a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from District 19, which includes his home city of Rayville in Richland Parish in northeastern Louisiana.[1] He was elected in 2007, when he defeated Anita Mack-Tennant.[2]The position opened when the long-term Democratic incumbent Francis C. Thompson of Delhi was term-limited and ran instead, successfully, for the Louisiana State Senate.[3]

On February 7, 2011, Chaney made headlines by vaulting from the Democrats to the Republicans. His switch was notable because it gave the GOP its first majority in the Louisiana House of Representatives since Reconstruction.[4]

Chaney is the owner and manager of Albert's Men's Wear in Rayville. He is married to the former Sharon Crawford.

Chaney is a member of the Louisiana House Committee on Education; in 2010 a bill he sponsored, to broaden the approval process for textbooks in public schools. This stand brought him into opposition from the conservative Louisiana Family Forum, which Chaney said "absolutely ambushed" him.[5] Chaney's score from the Louisiana Family Forum was 56 percent in 2008 and 78 percent in 2009.[6]

Chaney was unopposed for a second term in the House in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 22, 2011.[7]
