 From 1996 to 2011, Huval was the District 4 member of the St. Martin Parish governing council. He won his first race for the council, then known as the police jury, in the fall of 1995, with 51 percent of the vote in a three-candidate all Democratic race.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 21, 1995.</ref> In that capacity, he was active in the Louisiana Police Jury Association.

-On May 19, 2015, Representative Huval joined three other [[Moderate Republican]]s sitting on the House Civil Law and Procedure Committee who voted to table on a 10-2 vote the proposed Marriage and Conscience Act, authored by Republican then state Representative [[Mike Johnson]] of Bossier Parish,  who in 2016 was elected to Louisiana's 4th congressional district seat. Johnson's legislation carried the support of the [[conservative]] Louisiana Family Forum and Republican then [[Governor]] [[Bobby Jindal]]. Nancy Landry, another Moderate Republican from [[Lafayette]], also opposed the Marriage and Conscience Act. She left the House in 2019 to become chief of staff to Louisiana Secretary of State [[Kyle Ardoin]]. Only fellow Republican [[Ray Garofalo]] of Chalmette in St. Bernard Parish, one of the few Republican unseated in the 2019 legislative elections, stood with Johnson. After the defeat, Jindal announced an executive order to implement the measure. Johnson explained that the measure was  designed to block the state government from retaliatory action against a company because the owner may oppose same-sex marriage.<ref>Emily Lane, "Louisiana's religious freedom bill effectively defeated in committee," ''The New Orleans Times-Picayune,'' May 19, 2015.</ref>
