It's US House race run-off day in two special elections in the Bayou State. In LA-1 there's a race on the Republican side to choose the certain successor to Gov. Bobby Jindal. But in LA-6 (the district based around Baton Rouge) these run-offs could produce the closest race in this district in years - and potentially end over 3 decades of Republican representation of this congressional district. If today's results set up a Cazayoux-Jenkins race, Democrats can reasonably hope for a pick-up in the special election in early May.
In other Louisiana election news Republican John Kennedy raised more in the first quarter of this year than US Senator Mary Landrieu. But Landrieu continues to sit on a warchest that dwarfs Kennedy's.
