Whitney was unseated in the 2015 election by another Republican, [[Tanner Magee]], a [[lawyer]] from Houma. On October 14, 2017, Whitney finished in a relatively weak third place in the special election for the District 2 seat on the Louisiana Public Service Commission vacated by Scott Angelle, who joined the [[Donald Trump]] administration. Victory went to another Republican candidate and a former Democrat, Craig C. Greene, who led the race with 43,000 votes exactly (55 percent). The third candidate was Whitney's House predecessor Damon J. Baldone, who received 19,058 votes (24 percent).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/Graphical|title=Election Returns|date=October 14, 2017|publisher=Louisiana Secretary of State|accessdate=October 15, 2017}}</ref>
