Edward Lacy Tarpley, Jr., also known as Ed Tarpley or Eddie Tarpley (born May 23, 1953), is a lawyer in Alexandria, Louisiana, who was from 1991 to 1997 the district attorney for the 35th Judicial District based in Colfax in neighboring Grant Parish. A Republican, Tarpley became the first candidate to announce a challenge to U.S. Representative Vance McAllister, a freshman Republican from Ouachita Parish, in the 2014 race for Louisiana's 5th congressional district seat. However, neither Tarpley nor McAllister emerged from the nonpartisan blanket primary held on November 4, which coincided with the general elections in the other forty-nine states. Tarpley ran as a determined "conservative"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Grant DA Tarpley running for 5th District seat, April 13, 2014 )〕but finished with only 4,593 votes (1.9 percent).
