In filing once again for Congress, Holloway said that he considered himself the only candidate who can defeat McAllister, whose reputation was damaged by a scandal earlier this year when a video was published showing the married congressman kissing a former female staffer and the wife of a friend of McAllister's. He said: "I was disappointed in McAllister and still am. He had a golden opportunity and blew it. We need someone who can serve the district with integrity, and I believe I'm the best one for the job."<ref name=blockbusterfield/>

After the 2014 congressional race, Holloway endorsed his District 1 PSC colleague, fellow Republican Eric Skrmetta]of Jefferson Parish, who turned back a strong challenge in the December 6 runoff election from the alternative energy advocate Forest Gabriel Bradley-Wright, a Democrat who switched parties to challenge Skrmetta. PSC Commissioner Foster Campbell, a Democrat from District 5 who won his third term in the 2014 primary,  contributed to Bradley-Wright's campaign. Campbell has often been at odds with Skrmetta on the commission.<ref>''The Moon Griffon Show,'' December 1, 2014.</ref>
