InfoEdgar G. "Sonny" Mouton, Jr. was a prominent Lafayette attorney who was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1964 to 1966 and the state Senate from 1966-1980. He ran unsuccessfully for governor in the 1979 jungle primary.

Thereafter, Mouton became the executive counsel (1980-1983) to newly-elected Governor David C. Treen, the first Louisiana Republican to hold the office since Reconstruction. In 1985, he returned briefly as a special consultant to Governor Edwin Washington Edwards, who had won a third term in the 1983 primary by unseating Treen.
