Three Congressional races on Ascension ballots Tuesday

Election Day is Tuesday, three Congressional races on the ballot.

Three Congressional races feature the contest to succeed the incumbent Senator who failed to make a primary runoff.  Bill Cassidy, having angered President Donald Trump, finished out of the runoff which pitted the ultimate Republican candidate, Julie Letlow, who bested current Treasurer John Fleming by a healthy margin.

Currently occupying the 5th District seat in the House of Representatives, Letlow faces Jamie Harris for the Senate seat.

US Senate:

  • Jamie Harris-D
  • Julia Letlow-R

U. S. Representative — 2nd Congressional District:

Incumbent, and prohibitive favorite Troy Carter is set to face four opponents, none of whom is a Republican.

  • Lisa Ballay (LBT)
  • Walter “Rocky” Beach (NOPTY)
  • Troy A. Carter, Sr. (DEM)
  • Renada “Honey” Collins (NOPTY)
  • Peter Williams (REP)

U. S. Representative — 6th Congressional District:

This one seems wide open and likely to be settled in a December runoff.  Back and forth went the district’s configuration, gerrymandered to eliminate Cleo Fields’ seat which had been conferred upon him by redrawing a majority minority seat for the 2022 vote.  Ten names on the ballot (six Republicans, three Democrats and a Libertarian), this one will be settled on December 12.

  • Monique Appeaning (REP)
  • Chauna Banks (DEM)
  • Rufus Craig (LBT)
  • Larry Davis III (REP)
  • “Rick” Edmonds (REP)
  • Patrick “Pat” Forbes (DEM)
  • Lindsay “Rubia” Garcia (DEM)
  • Michael Mebruer (REP)
  • Blake Miguez (REP)
  • Stephen Wagley (REP)
