Fun fact: Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards won this district in his re-election campaign by 21 points in 2019. He carried Louisiana that year by 3% 😳
Thanks! I hate the Musk hellsite with the passion of 10,000 fiery suns, but when there’s info I can’t find anywhere else, somehow what I’m looking for when it comes to election data, is almost always there. Go figure.
Womp. Womp.

Jeff Landry won it by 24!
A breath of relief on a Saturday night! Thank you so much for letting us know!!!!! Happier Days are hopefully coming soon. 😊
YES! Thank you! I was looking for this info and couldn't find it! You guys are awesome.
Couldn’t agree more!
She was apparently outspent in the campaign by 3 to 1 too according to Louisiana Democrats:

Congratulations to Chasity Verret Martinez on her election to represent House District 60.
She was outspent 3-to-1 and still won. This is what happens when grassroots Democrats show up and organize.
Proud of this win and excited to keep building power together. #LaDemos
Great find! There was almost no media coverage of this race and nothing about spending, so this fills in a key gap.

Interestingly, the LA Dems also posted on Bsky!
What about Long Island? Did they not make Sal gains in that county? Both of them actually if I remember correctly.
Hurrah!
Is there a decent black population here? White voters in Lousiana are about 80-20 republican.
I am sure the Black population in this district is very decent, indeed. Not so sure about the white Republican voters though.

Per DRA, the district is around 40% Black.
