'''Michael Kirk Talbot''' (born November 18, 1969) is a [[Republican Party]] incoming state senator from River Ridge in Jefferson Parish in [[suburb]]an [[New Orleans, [[Louisiana]]. From 2008 to 2020, he was the District 78 state representative. Term-limited in that position, Talbot ran instead for the state Senate to succeed the term-limited Republican, Danny Martiny. On January 13, 2020, he will assume his Senate seat, as [[John Illg]], his unsuccessful House opponent in 2015, becomes the new representative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
