On September 14, Overton won the Democratic primary against Rep. Jared Sanders with 51.06% of the vote.
At this time, Louisiana was a one-party state (no other party had run a candidate for Senate since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment), and the Democratic nomination was tantamount to victory. Broussard won the November general election without an opponent.
