Armand Julie Beauvais (1783-1843) was a Justice of the Peace, a Member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives, President of the Louisiana Senate and the seventh Governor of Louisiana.
He was born September 6, 1783 in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. He was serving as President of the Louisiana Senate, to which he had been elected as a [[Whig Party {RATHER THEN DELETE THE WHIG REFERENCE HERE, AS WAS DONE WITH PIERRE DERBIGNY, THIS WHIG AFFILIATION IS NOT POSSIBLE AS THE WHIG PARTY WAS NOT ESTABLISHED UNITL 1834} (United States)|Whig]], when Governor Pierre Derbigny was killed. Derbigny was thrown from his carriage on October 6, 1828, ten months into his term as Governor. Beauvais served as Acting Governor for three months and then resigned to run for a full term as Governor. He did not ultimately contest the election, and André Bienvenue Roman was elected unopposed. Governor Beauvais was then elected to the Louisiana Senate until 1834.
Beauvais died in New Orleans in 1843.
