LA-HD60: Republicans have their first shot at a special election flip on Saturday
Louisiana Democrats are defending a state House seat that Donald Trump carried by 13 points in a challenging, but still competitive, special election on Saturday.
Democrat Chasity Martinez, a member of the Iberville Parish Council, is facing off against Republican Brad Daigle, an insurance agent, in the 60th District, which is based in Acadiana in the southern part of the state.
After a second Democrat dropped out in late December, Martinez and Daigle are the only candidates on the ballot, so it’s all but certain one will secure the requisite majority needed to avert a March 14 runoff.
This district, which includes part of Assumption and Iberville parishes (Louisiana’s equivalent of counties), was last won in 2023 by Democratic state Rep. Chad Brown, who secured his third and final term without opposition.
