| Info | Jerry Marston Fowler is a Baton Rouge businessman who, as part of a family political dynasty, was Louisiana's state elections commissioner from 1980 until his defeat in the 1999 jungle primary. He vacated the position in 2000 and was thereafter indicted, convicted, and imprisoned for bribery and income tax evasion in a scandal which grew out of the acceptance of kickbacks on the purchase of voting machines. Fowler succeeded his ailing father, Wiley Douglas Fowler, Sr., as commissioner. Collectively, the Fowlers, who hailed from Coushatta, the seat of rural Red River Parish, served just over 41 years in the position, originally called the "custodian of voting machines."
