==Unsuccessful bid for state Senate==
Term-limited in the House, Garofalo unsuccessfully contested the District 1 seat in the Louisiana State Senate in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 14, 2023. He was defeated, 61 to 39 percent, by another Republican, Robert "Bob" Owen. The seat was vacated by a failed gubernatorial candidate, Republican Sharon Hewitt. Seeking to succeed Garofalo in the House are Republicans "Mike" Bayham and Richard "Richie" Lewis, who with 47 and 32 percent, respectively, of the primary vote, now meet in a November runoff election. Eliminated from that race was the Democrat Stacy Riley, Sr., who polled 22 percent in the initial balloting.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 14, 2023.</ref>
