In 2004, Romero ran for the Third District seat but finished third in the state's unique jungle primary. In the 2004 race, Romero faced the retiring Tauzin's son, Republican Billy Tauzin III and Democrat Charlie Melancon of Napoleonville, the seat of Assumption Parish. Under the jungle primary system, if the leading candidate does not receive over 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers in a race – regardless of party affiliation – advance to a runoff election, which is held several weeks after the national general election.[1]
They have seven children, Nicholas, Hannah, Jacob, Sarah, Bethany, Danielle, and Isaac. Isaac died at age 23 in a single-vehicle car crash in August 2018.[2]
