Defeated Duke Eyes Higher Office After Narrow Lose
Former state representative Duke, who won 44 percent statewide, drew national attention. Nick Accardo and Larry Crowe trailed with 21,709 and 14,472 votes. Ben Bagert’s late withdrawal affected results, while Johnston earned cross party support. Duke eyed a possible governor bid in 1991 or a U.S. House run in 1992 amid strong Democratic rivals in New Orleans.
