The First District PSC seat encompasses all or parts of Ascension, Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and Washington parishes in south Louisiana. Blossman was first elected to the PSC in 1996, when at thirty-two, he was the youngest person to have been elected to the commission. He was reelected in 2002. His term expired on December 31, 2008, and he did not seek reelection.

Former Commissioner John F. Schwegmann, using the "No Party" or Independent label, led a field of four candidates in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 4, 2008. Schwegmann led in the primary with 61,711 (41.8 percent) to the 34,206 ballots (23.1 percent) for Republican Eric F. Skrmetta of Metairie. The other candidates were populist Democrat-turned-Republican former State Representative Kenneth L. Odinet Sr., of Arabi, with 33,470 (22.6 percent), and "No Party" Bruce C. Kincade, with 18,440 (12.5 percent). In the November 4 general election, Skrmetta easily defeated Schwegmann, 222,268 (60 percent) to 149,220 (40 percent).

In 2003, Blossman announced that he would seek to become the Republican gubernatorial consensus candidate to succeed term-limited GOP Governor Murphy J. "Mike" Foster. Blossman calls himself a "Reagan conservative." He opposed the since repealed Stelly Plan, which increased property taxes on most middle-class families and was named for its author, former state Representative Vic Stelly of Lake Charles.

Blossman spent more than $1 million in his race, much of that amount consisting of his own loans to his campaign. By late summer, Blossman had $613,000 on hand. He spent $552,000 in the second quarter of 2003, including the repayment of $285,000 in loans to himself. He raised $168,000 from others in the third quarter, $512,000 since January 1, 2003.

Blossman beat Schwegmann again in 2002, 104,963 votes (68 percent) to 49,643 ballots (32 percent). It was in the October 2002 primary that Schwegmann was first listed as an Independent or officially "No Party" on the Louisiana ballot.

As a Republican, Blossman in 1996 unseated incumbent Commissioner John F. Schwegmann (born 1946), then a Democrat from Metairie, a large census-designated place in Jefferson Parish. Schwegmann's father was the late state legislator and PSC member John G. Schwegmann. He is the husband of former Lieutenant Governor Melinda Schwegmann, another Democrat turned Republican. Blossman polled 133,455 votes (55 percent) to Schwegmann's 108,957 (45 percent).

In 1995, Blossman ran as a Democrat in the nonpartisan blanket primary for the District 77 seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives. He was defeated by Republican businesswoman Diane Winston, who held the seat from 1996 until she was term-limited in 2008.

Blossman was born to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Blossman Sr. in Covington, the seat of St. Tammany Parish. He graduated from the St. Paul's School in Covington. In 1987, he received a bachelor's degree from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Thereafter, in 1991, Blossman obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the historically black Southern University School of Law in Baton Rouge. He resides in Mandeville with his wife, Lynette Blossman, and their children.

When Blossman failed to make the expected traction in the polls, he announced that former Republican Congressman Clyde C. Holloway of Forest Hill in Rapides Parish would join him on an unofficial "ticket" as the lieutenant governor's candidate. Candidates had stopped forming such combinations after the 1971 Democratic primaries. Holloway was widely identified as a social conservative by his voting record. He had represented the heavily Democratic and since defunct Eighth Congressional District from 1987-1993. Holloway had left Congress four years before Blossman joined the PSC. In his bid for lieutenant governor, Holloway stressed the need to halt the loss of manufacturing jobs from Louisiana and to boost the low-wage base in many parishes.

Jack Arthur Blossman Jr., known as Jay Blossman (born October 3, 1964), is an attorney from Mandeville, Louisiana, who is a Republican former member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission. Blossman was the PSC chairman for his last two years on the board, 2007 to 2008.
