Crane was succeeded in the House in 2008 by fellow Republican [[Franklin Foil]], who became a state senator in 2020. Foil won the general election held on November 17, 2007, when he defeated a fellow Republican [[attorney]], Pat Culbertson, 5,399 (53 percent) to 4,809 (47 percent) in a small-turnout election. Culberton had nearly won the seat outright in the October 20 primary, with 49 percent to 40 percent for Foil, a [[United States Navy]] reserve commander. A third Republican candidate, self-styled "[[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] [[conservative]]" Aidan Reynolds, also an attorney, drew only 11 percent of the vote.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 20 and November 17, 2007.</ref>
