Geography

District 23 is based in Lafayette Parish, including much of southern Lafayette as well as the suburban towns of Broussard, Scott, and Youngsville. [2]

The district is located entirely within Louisiana's 3rd congressional district, and overlaps with the 31st, 43rd, 44th, 45th, and 48th districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives. [4]

Recent election results

Louisiana uses a jungle primary system. If no candidate receives 50% in the first round of voting, when all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, the top-two finishers advance to a runoff election.
