George Gregory Cromer, known as Greg Cromer (born June 26, 1958), has been since 2008 a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 90 in St. Tammany Parish in suburban New Orleans. Formerly, Cromer was the District G city council member in Slidell, Louisiana.
In 1981, Cromer graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in industrial management technology from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. He has been employed in New Orleans by Lockheed Martin at the Michoud Assembly Facility of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Cromer was elected to the House when the term-limited Matthew Peter Schneider, III, ran unsuccessfully for the Louisiana State Senate.
Slidell is also represented in the House by a second Republican, Kevin Pearson of District 76, who joined Cromer in a dual town hall meeting in April 2011. Cromer is a member of the House committees on Civil Law and Procedure, Governmental Affairs, and Retirement. Pearson is chairman of the Retirement Committee. Cromer and Pearson have developed a close working relationship and often appear together at civic meetings before constituents. The two issued a joint press released on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico: "The economic impact is already being felt in our community, and we will take all appropriate steps to address the situation from every possible level." Cromer has also addressed the issue of flooding in the Slidell area and the required steps to remedy high water.
Cromer and the St. Tammany legislative delegation worked to procure the widening of Interstate 12 from four to six lanes in the Slidell area, a $26 million project. In the dedication of the project, Governor Bobby Jindal said that the state had spent $122 million in transportation projects in St. Tammany Parish alone from 2008 to 2011 and $3.6 billion statewide on roads and ports during the same time period. The state also spent $220 million in the I-12 corridor from East Baton Rouge Parish to St. Tammany Parish. Cromer was reelected in the primary election held on October 22, 2011. He received 5,030 votes (74.9 percent) to 1,683 ballots (25.1 percent) for his intraparty rival, J. "Ron" Eldridge.
On April 22, 2012, Cromer resigned his membership in the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), of which he had been the Louisiana state chairman.
