Weakened by a sexual scandal, McAllister failed to gain reelection in 2014, when the seat passed to Republican [[Ralph Abraham]]. In the primary that year [[Zach Dasher]], Phil Robertson's nephew, finished a strong third in the balloting, followed by McAllister's fourth place finish. Abraham ran for governor in 2019 but failed to gain a coveted runoff berth over fellow Republican [[Eddie Rispone]], who then lost, 51-49 percent, to Democratic Governor [[John Bel Edwards]].
