Mack was elected on October 22, 2011, to succeed Walker Hines, who held the seat for one term when it was based, prior to redistricting, in Orleans Parish. In the nonpartisan blanket primary, Mack received 6,526 votes (61.2 percent), compared to 3,449 (32.4 percent) for the Democrat Lonnie Watts and 682 ballots (6.4 percent) for the Independent Matthew Mitchell.[2]
