In 1995, Armstrong ran again for the House in District 7, which includes parts of south Caddo and northern De Soto parishes. Armstrong polled 5,477 votes (45.3 percent) and was forced into a general election contest with the Democrat [[Beverly Bruce]] of Mansfield, who received 5,559 (46 percent). A third candidate, Republican Lance Allan Britton (born 1943), also of Mansfield, held the remaining but critical 1,061 votes (8.8 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Primary election returns, October 21, 1995.</ref> Britton in 1975, while living in [[Baton Rouge]], had been the only statewide Republican candidate that year; he made a vain bid to unseat then Lieutenant Governor [[Jimmy Fitzmorris]]. In the general election, Bruce prevailed, 7,027 (53 percent) to Armstrong's 6,235 (47 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, General election returns, November 18, 1995.</ref>
