'''William Franklin Spooner''', known as '''Frank Spooner''' (born September 9, 1937), is an [[oil]] and [[natural gas]] producer in [[Monroe, Louisiana|Monroe]] in Ouachita Parish in northeastern [[Louisiana]], who has been active since the early 1970s in his state's [[Republican Party]]. In the fall of 1976, Spooner waged a strong but losing race for the [[United States House of Representatives]] for Louisiana's 5th congressional district in a bid to succeed incumbent Otto Ernest Passman (1900-1988), who had been unseated in the [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] [[primary]] by [[farmer]]/[[business]]man Thomas Jerald "Jerry" Huckaby, then from Ringgold in Bienville Parish. Therefore, instead of facing Passman, as he had expected, Spooner competed with Huckaby for a relatively rare open seat in the state's congressional delegation.
