| | Geymann was an unsuccessful candidate for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district seat in the [[primary]] election held on November 8, 2016, in conjunction with the presidential election between [[Donald Trump]] and [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]. The position was then held by Republican Charles Boustany, a retired [[Lafayette]] [[physician]], who ran instead, unsuccessfully, for the [[United States Senate]] for the seat vacated by Republican [[David Vitter]]. Geymann's principal opponents were Moderate Republican [[Scott Angelle]], a former member of the Louisiana Public Service Commission from Breaux Bridge and [[Clay Higgins]], a conservative and a Crime Stoppers reporter known for his attacks on the criminal element. Another primary candidate was the [[Lafayette]] [[attorney]] and former United States Ambassador to [[Timor-Leste]] [[Grover Rees, III]]. In the December runoff contest, Higgins handily defeated Angelle to claim the House seat and sailed to an easy reelection in 2018 despite a bevy of Democrat opponents.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, December 2018.</ref> | | Geymann was an unsuccessful candidate for Louisiana's 3rd congressional district seat in the [[primary]] election held on November 8, 2016, in conjunction with the presidential election between [[Donald Trump]] and [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]].
