The district is located entirely within Louisiana's 3rd congressional district, and overlaps with the 33rd, 34th, 35th, and 36th districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives. ^[3]

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.
