Special election decides 3 seats in Louisiana Legislature; 2 need March runoffs

A special election was held Saturday in six parishes to fill five vacancies in the Louisiana Legislature, including three seats representing New Orleans.

Two of the contests will be decided in a runoff next month, but the outcomes won’t alter the overall party makeup of the state house where Republicans continue to hold a super majority in both chambers.

Senate District 3
The March 14 runoff in Senate District 3 will pit the son of a former New Orleans mayor (D) against an attorney (D) with a background in the public sector.

House District 100
Attorneys Kenya Rounds (D) and Dana Henry (D) also advanced to the March runoff for a seat representing eastern New Orleans. They earned 33% and 30% of the vote, respectively.
