==Race for lieutenant governor==
==Lieutenant governor campaign==​
In 1963, Duval ran for lieutenant governor on the intraparty "ticket" of former [[New Orleans]] Mayor (and also former Ambassador to the [[Organization of American States]]) deLesseps Story "Chep" Morrison, Sr. (1912-1964). He was the [[conservative]] balance to the more "moderate" Morrison. In his own race, Duval was pitted against Clarence C. "Taddy" Aycock (1915-1987) of neighboring St. Mary Parish, who agreed with Duval on many issues. Aycock was informally paired with [[John J. McKeithen]] in the Democratic runoff though he was actually an independent candidate who made no alliance with any gubernatorial candidate that year. Aycock had the advantage in experience and name recognition.​
Claude and Betty Duval are interred in the Magnolia Cemetery in Houma. Duval was [[Episcopalian]]. In addition, to the Senate office facility, Duval is honored through the "Senator Claude B. Duval Scholarship" given at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana,​
