In the 1979 primary election, Ginn upset Edwards Barham, a one-term Republican and the first member of his party since Reconstruction elected to the Louisiana Senate. Ginn won reelection in 1983, when he defeated fellow Democrat Willie E. Crain, 23,062 (52.5 percent) to 20,865 (47.5 percent). This time, the district included Madison Parish, five precincts from Ouachita Parish, as well as Morehouse, Richland, and East and West Carroll.[3] Ginn did not seek a third term in the 1987 primary, as voters elected Willie Crain to the seat by a large margin.[4]
