Larry S. Bankston is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on January 22, 1951 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. Bankston is the son of the late long-term Louisiana Democratic Party chairman Jesse Bankston and the former Ruth Paine (1918–1997). Ruth Bankston was a member of the East Baton Rouge Parish Democratic Executive Committee and was a delegate to two national party conventions. Larry Bankston has a sister, Shirley B. Newsham, and two brothers, Dale Leon Bankston and Jesse Bankston, Jr., an assistant district attorney in East Baton Rouge Parish.
The seat was vacated by Democrat Thomas H. Hudson, a Baton Rouge lawyer who was President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the second-ranking leadership position, during his third term (1984–88). Bankston was reelected in 1991 under revised district boundaries in the nonpartisan blanket primary with 51.2 percent of the vote over four fellow Democratic candidates.
Bankston compiled a largely progressive voting record in the Senate, siding almost always with the positions of Edwin Washington Edwards, Victor Bussie, and Planned Parenthood, amongst other individuals and organizations. He was a supporter of casino gambling, abortion rights, and the repeal of right-to-work laws. Prior to 1992, he was a floor leader for Governor Buddy Roemer.
In 1994, Bankston, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, met in his law office with Fred Goodson, the owner of a video poker truck stop in Slidell in St. Tammany Parish. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bankston and Goodson, a close friend of Bankston’s colleague, Gerry Hinton, discussed a plan to manipulate the legislative process so as to protect the interests of the video poker companies. In return, the key lawmakers would net clandestine financial interests in the video poker truck stops.
From 1978-88, Bankston was a staff attorney for the office of the state attorney general in Baton Rouge. From 1979 to 1982, he was assistant parish attorney for East Baton Rouge Parish. From 1982 to 1988, Bankston was a member of the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Council, an elected governing body.
