Primary elections were held in two rounds on December 5, 1959, and January 9, 1960. After defeating Chep Morrison, then the mayor of New Orleans, in a Democratic primary which featured some of the most racist campaign rhetoric in Louisiana political history, Jimmie Davis was elected to his second nonconsecutive term as governor after defeating the Republican candidate, Francis Grevemberg, in the general election.
