Cain formerly chaired the Senate Insurance and the Agriculture and Natural Resources committees. In those capacities, he was a strong advocate of protecting his state's underground water sources to prevent depletion.
Cain was born in Pitkin in southeastern Vernon Parish to Alton J. Cain, Sr., and the former Mary Etta Thornton. He graduated from Pitkin High School and obtained Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in education from McNeese State University in Lake Charles. He played basketball for the McNeese Cowboys. He served from 1958 to 1960 in the United States Army. He was a teacher and coach at Beauregard High School from 1962 until 1972. On six occasions, he was the District Coach of the Year. He held the statewide honor twice, and in 1992 was inducted into the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame.
Cain is divorced from the former Goldie Bonds of DeRidder and currently married to the former Renee Cole of Ragley, Louisiana. He has two children: Melissa Cain Gill, James Cain, Jr., and two stepchildren, Angela Guglielmo, and Joseph Guglielmo.
