In that campaign, Tarpley accented his opposition to [[gambling]]. Ieyoub polled 1,019,041 votes (76 percent) to Tarpley's 137,372 votes (10 percent). Tarpley lost to Ieyoub even his own Grant Parish. Two others, one a Republican and the other a "No Party" candidate, received the remaining 14 percent of the ballots cast.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 21, 1995.</ref>
