Bayham was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives in 2023, representing District 103, which includes St. Bernard Parish.
A lifelong resident of Chalmette, Bayham had deep roots in the community. He attended Holy Cross High School in the Lower 9th Ward before earning a bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University, where he studied journalism, political science and history.
His career in public service began at a young age. At 26, Bayham became the youngest person elected to the St. Bernard Parish Council at the time. He represented District B from 2001 to 2004.
Bayham was also involved in Republican politics for decades. He was first elected to the Republican State Central Committee in 1996 and later served as its executive committee secretary from 2008 to 2012. He also served as a presidential elector in 2008 and 2012.

Shocking! Dude was only in his early 50’s! I hope his family finds peace and comfort after this loss.

Do Democrats celebrate when Republicans die from disease or only when another Democrat actually murders them?

Was a close friend. Saw him this summer. His Astros against my White Sox. He lived a full life. That’s what’s helping a lot of people cope right now. How many of us have been to Bulgaria, Mongolia or Montenegro? Rest in peace brother. You will be missed and you fought the good fight.

Louisiana State Representative Mike Bayham Jr. died from liver failure. He passed away at age 52 on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at a hospital in Metairie, Louisiana, following a multi-month battle with the illness.
• Health Battle. Bayham had been suffering from liver failure for several months and required a liver transplant to survive. His legislative office issued a statement on November 11 announcing that he was gravely ill and asking the public for prayers.
• Public Service. A Republican from Chalmette, Bayham represented District 103 in the Louisiana House of Representatives starting in January 2024. He previously served on the St. Bernard Parish Council from 2001 to 2004.
• Recent Legislative Work. Despite ongoing hospitalizations and serious pain, Bayham remained active in his duties until his death. His final legislative achievements included authoring a constitutional amendment approved by voters in November 2026 to establish term limits for Louisiana governors.
