Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Stuart Symington decided to retire, instead of seeking a fifth term. Republican John Danforth won the open seat, defeating Democrat Warren Hearnes.

He was the first Republican elected — by a 29-vote margin — to the Louisiana State Senate since the era of Reconstruction. Barham represented the agricultural District 33 from 1976 to 1980. Barham was narrowly unseated in the 1979 nonpartisan blanket primary by a Democrat, David 'Bo' Ginn of Bastrop, who held the seat until 1988.
