==Failed congressional reelection campaign, 1964==

Having failed to become governor, Long was challenged for re-nomination in 1964 by another cousin, Speedy Oteria Long of Jena, who as a young state senator had lost a race for insurance commissioner in the same 1963 Democratic primary. Speedy Long ran on McKeithen's intra-party ticket that also included former Mayor Ashton J. Mouton of [[Lafayette]] for lieutenant governor. Only McKeithen won, as both of his ticket mates failed.
