Louisiana's 5th and 6th Districts Head to December 12 Runoffs: No Candidate Cleared 50 Percent, Republicans Took 63.1 Percent Combined in the 5th
Louisiana's two undecided congressional races will go to runoff elections. The open 5th and 6th Districts will hold runoffs on December 12 because no candidate reached 50 percent in the November 3 election.
In District 5, Republican candidates received an aggregate 63.1 percent of the cast ballots. The two advancing candidates are state Representative Patricia Moore, a Democrat from Monroe, and state Representative Gabe Firment, a Republican from Pollock.
In District 6, the six Republican candidates garnered an aggregate 57.4 percent of the vote. The two advancing candidates are former East Baton Rouge Councilwoman Chauna Banks, a Democrat, and state Senator Blake Miguez, a Republican from New Iberia. Election analysis said Republicans are favored to win both seats, which are designed to elect Republicans.
