Doerge easily retained her seat in the nonpartisan blanket primary held on October 20, 2007. She received 6,681 votes (57 percent) to 4,133 (35 percent) for [[Ronnie Broughton]] of Minden, the then president of the Webster Parish School Board and a Republican who later left that party to become the state chairman of the [[Constitution Party]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thetowntalk.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/07/26/constitution-party-meets-possible-presidential-nominee/30705579/|title=Constitution Party meets possible presidential nominee|publisher=''The Alexandria Town Talk''|accessdate=July 27, 2015}}</ref> An [[African-American]] candidate, Terrell Mendenhall of Cullen, south of Springhill, polled 915 ballots (8 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 20, 2007.</ref>
Broughton had committed to the victorious Republican gubernatorial candidate [[Bobby Jindal]], but Doerge had proclaimed her neutrality in the governor's race in which her former legislative colleague, Foster Lonnie Campbell, was also a candidate. Broughton questioned why Louisiana Highway 371 remains a two-lane road. He had promised if elected to "bring transportation dollars home to our area." Broughton also proclaimed himself a[[ pro-life]] candidate: "Life starts at conception, marriage is between a man and woman, and the [[Second Amendment]] should be protected and held sacred."
