In 1995, McPherson did not seek a fourth term in the Senate but instead challenged state Representative [[Dale Sittig]] of Eunice for the District 4 seat on the Public Service Commission. Sittig polled 141,473 votes (52.8 percent) to McPherson's 126,452 (47.2 percent). Sittig cemented his margin with comfortable wins in his own St. Landry Parish as well as Evangeline, Acadia, and Calcasieu parshes.
