In 1987, Congressman Livingston ran a weak third in the race for governor of Louisiana. Victory went to then Democrat U.S. Representative [[Buddy Roemer]], who led the nonpartisan blanket primary. The second-place candidate, third-term Governor [[Edwin Edwards]], withdrew from what would have been the [[general election]]. Roemer subsequently was defeated for reelection in 1991, when Edwards reclaimed the governorship in a contested runoff with then State Representative [[David Duke]] of Jefferson Parish.
