Democratic

Elected Governor

Dave Treen
Republican

The 1979 Louisiana gubernatorial election resulted in the election of David Treen as the first Republican governor of Louisiana since Reconstruction in the disputed election of 1872. Incumbent Governor Edwin Edwards was ineligible to run for a third term, making it the only gubernatorial election in Louisiana between 1972 and 1991 to not feature Edwards as a candidate.

This was the first gubernatorial election held after the adoption of the Louisiana primary in 1978.[1]
