 Little defeated [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] Buddy M. Quinn, a retired dentist, also from Bastrop, by a margin of nine votes in the general election held on November 17, 2007. Little polled 3,936 votes (50.06 percent) to Quinn's 3,927 (49.94 percent) for the right to succeed term-limited Representative Charles McDonald, a Democrat from Bastrop, which is included within the Monroe Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. McDonald instead ran unsuccessfully for the Louisiana State Senate in the October 20 primary, In thar race, he was defeated by another term-limited representative, Republican [[Mike Walsworth]] of West Monroe in Ouachita Parish.<ref>"Election Report," ''[[Monroe News Star]],'' November 18, 2007.</ref>
