Melancon threw his hat into the 3rd CD ring after longtime incumbent Billy Tauzin announced his retirement. Considered an underdog for much of the race, he managed to squeak into a runoff due to an especially ugly intraparty battle between Republican candidates Wilbert Joseph Tauzin, III (the incumbent's son), and state Senator Craig Romero. In the runoff campaign, Melancon repeatedly hammered away at Tauzin, III,'s youth, inexperience, criminal record, and family ties (many members of both major parties resented Tauzin's status as frontrunner for the seat solely because his father was the incumbent). Because of the attacks on Tauzin, the makeup of the district, and Romero's refusal to endorse Tauzin, Melancon eked out a victory by 569 votes. Romero, however, set his sights on challenging Melancon in 2006.

Very soon after being sworn in January of 2005, Melancon joined the Blue Dog Democrats. He is a fairly conservative Democrat by national standards -- in fact, a section of his campaign site, "Louisiana Values," detailed his opposition to gun control, abortion and same-sex marriage. He later said that the 2004 election campaign was the first time in his life that he was called a liberal. 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
