John Calvin Fleming Jr. (born July 5, 1951) is an American politician, physician, and former naval officer serving as the treasurer of Louisiana since 2024. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held positions in the executive branch during the first presidency of Donald Trump and represented Louisiana's 4th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2009 to 2017. After working as a family doctor and businessman, Fleming was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008. He was a candidate in the 2016 United States Senate election in Louisiana and finished fifth in the nonpartisan primary. After leaving the United States Congress, Fleming was first appointed by Donald Trump as the deputy assistant secretary for health information technology reform, then as the assistant secretary of commerce for economic development. He was later made a White House aide, serving as White House deputy chief of staff and assistant to the President for planning and implementation. Fleming won the 2023 Louisiana treasurer election in the November runoff, receiving over 65% of the vote. In December 2024, he announced his candidacy for the United States Senate in 2026. Both Fleming and Julia Letlow (who had Trump's endorsement) defeated incumbent senator Bill Cassidy in the primary but neither received a majority of the primary vote, thus triggering a runoff. The runoff was held on June 27, in which Fleming lost to Letlow.
