Pinac ran third in the 2009 PSC election. As he conceded defeated on election night, Pinac endorsed his fellow Republican, former [[U.S. Representative]] Clyde Cecil Holloway (1943-2016).<ref>Robert Morgan, "Holloway, McPherson go into May PSC runoff," ''The Alexandria Town Talk,'' April 5, 2009.</ref>  
    
Holloway led narrowly in the initial balloting with 32,258 votes (43.50 percent) to Democrat former state Senator [[Joe McPherson]] of Woodworth, also in Rapides Parish, who received 31,610 votes (42.63 percent). Pinac trailed with 10,280 ballots (13.86 percent), but he won his home parish of Acadia and polled four votes more than Holloway and McPherson, who tied with 120 votes each, in the small in population Cameron Parish on the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. McPherson's greatest strength was in Calcasieu Parish ([[Lake Charles]]), where he led 11,178 (50.40 percent) to Holloway's 7,873 (35.50 percent), and Pinac's 3,127 (14.10 percent). Holloway's total in Calcasieu was also his single largest parish total. The home of both runoff candidates, Rapides Parish, in a low turnout cast 6,527 ballots for Holloway, 5,327 for McPherson, and 791 for Pinac.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, April 4, 2009.</ref>​
