Hainkel was first elected in 1968 as a Democrat to the Louisiana House. His service hence dated back to the second term of [[Governor]] [[John J. McKeithen]]. Like many other Louisiana Democrats over time, he wound up switching to the more [[American conservatism|conservative]] Republican Party. He originally represented a compact, affluent Uptown New Orleans House district. At the time of his death, Hainkel's legislative service had begun before ten then-serving Louisiana state legislators had been born.
