Louisiana Voters Decide on Senate Race and Constitutional Amendments
Voters in Louisiana participated in a statewide election that included the closed primary for the U.S. Senate, races for the Public Service Commission, Louisiana Supreme Court, and other local offices. The U.S. House primaries were postponed following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a majority-Black congressional district, with new elections scheduled for November. In the Senate race, Republican voters are choosing between incumbent U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, state Treasurer John Fleming, and Mark Spencer. President Trump has endorsed Letlow over Cassidy, who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial. Democratic voters are selecting among Nick Albares, Gary Crockett, and Jamie Davis. Additionally, voters are deciding on five proposed amendments to the Louisiana Constitution, which cover issues such as civil service positions, the creation of a new school system, and changes to property taxes and retirement ages for judges.
