In 2004, Salter was tapped by Democratic [[Governor]] [[Kathleen Blanco]] as her choice to be the 62nd Speaker of the Louisiana House to succeed [[Charles W. DeWitt, Jr.]], of Rapides Parish as presiding officer. He was the first person from his House district ever to be Speaker. Unlike most states, Louisiana's governor recommends a choice for Speaker, and that person is usually chosen by the full chamber.
