In December 2015, Maness announced that he will run in 2016 for the other U.S. Senate seat from Louisiana, the one being vacated by the incumbent David Vitter. His opponents will include Republican U.S. Representatives Charles Boustany of Lafayette and John Fleming of [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]].
In December 2015, Maness announced his candidacy in 2016 for the other U.S. Senate seat from Louisiana, the one being vacated by the incumbent David Vitter, who lost the governorship to Democrat John Bel Edwards. With 90,812 votes (5 percent), Maness finished sixth in the primary election on November 8, 2016, held in conjunction with the presidential election in which [[Donald Trump]] handily carried the state. Maness ran 112,000 votes in 2016 behind his 2014 showing. The two leading candidates, state Treasurer John Neely Kennedy, a Democrat-turned-Republican, and veteran Democratic former state senator and current Public Service Commissioner Foster Campbell, compete in a December 10 runoff election for the right to succeed Vitter. Eliminated in the primary were Republican U.S. Representatives Charles Boustany of Lafayette and John Fleming of [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]],<ref name=returns>{{cite web|url=https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/Graphical|title=Election Returns|date=November 8, 2016|publisher=Louisiana Secretary of State|accessdate=November 10, 2016}]</ref>
