In the congressional primary, Barham had sought to succeed [[U.S. Representative]] John Cooksey of Monroe, who made an ill-fated run in 2002 for the [[U.S. Senate]] against [[Mary Landrieu]]. Barham entered the primary against two other major Republican candidates, former U.S. Representative Clyde Cecil Holloway (1943-2016) of Louisiana's 8th congressional district since disbanded, and [[Lee Fletcher]], a young Monroe businessman who had been Cooksey's former chief of staff. Barham ran fourth in the primary, with 34,522 votes (19 percent), in a multi-candidate field.
