Picard was succeeded in the state Senate by Democrat [[Gerald J. Theunissen]] of Jennings, who defeated the Republican state party chairmanMike Francis of Crowley in Acadia Parish. Theunissen himself later switched to Republican affiliation. He was succeeded as education superintendent by [[Paul Pastorek]], who was retained by the board in 2008, with the support of Republican Governor [[Bobby Jindal]], but left the post in 2011.
