The politics of Louisiana involve political parties,laws and the state constitution,and the many other groups that influence the governance of the state. The state was a one-party Deep South state dominated by the Democratic Party from the end of Reconstruction to the 1960s,forming the backbone of the "Solid South." This was due to the near-total disenfranchisement of the state's large African-American population during this time,who mostly voted Republican. The Civil Rights era turned the state into a competitive one on the federal level,as it voted for the nationwide winner in every election between 1972 and 2004. It remained Democratic on the state and local level until the turn of the 21st century,allowing Republicans to win control of the state legislature and every statewide office in 2011. Republicans won a United States Senate seat for Louisiana in the election of 2004,for the first time since 1876. Republicans captured both seats in the election of 2014 for the first time since 1872. In the election of 2008,the state voted for a losing presidential candidate for the first time since 1968. Democrats won less than 40% of the presidential popular vote in the state in the elections of 2016 and 2020.

Pennsylvania's 10th congressional district is located in the south-central region of the state. It encompasses all of Dauphin County as well as parts of Cumberland County and York County. The district includes the cities of Harrisburg and York. Prior to 2019,the district was located in the northeastern part of the state. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania redrew the district in 2018 after ruling the previous map unconstitutional because of gerrymandering. The court added State College to the old district's boundaries while removing some Democratic-leaning areas and redesignated it the twelfth district;an area encompassing Harrisburg and York was numbered as the "10th". The new tenth district is represented by Republican Scott Perry,who previously represented the old fourth district.

The political balance in Louisiana was heavily affected by the post-Hurricane Katrina departure from New Orleans. Heavily Democratic New Orleans lost some 1/3 of its population. The overall effect reduced the Democrats' base of support in the state and turned Louisiana into a Republican-leaning state thereafter. New Orleans remained Democratic,electing Mitch Landrieu as mayor in February 2010. In the 2008 elections,Louisiana sent a mixed result,with the election of U.S. Senator John McCain for President and the reelection of Democratic U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu. The other senator,at the time,was Republican David Vitter.
