Ripoll claimed the second position in the [[general election]] with 3,426 votes (22.7 percent). Trailing in third place by 61 votes was another Democrat, later Republican, [[business]]man [[Kenneth L. Odinet, Sr.]], of Arabi in in St. Bernard Parish. Finishing fourth was former [[U.S. Representative]] for Louisiana's 1st congressional district, Richard Alvin Tonry, with 2,693 votes (17.8 percent). Tonry had been forced from office in a scandal in 1977. In this same election, Edwin Edwards unseated one-term Republican Governor [[David C.
