Bill Jefferson goes on trial in December, but evenso he topped a crowded field in the Democratic primary for LA-2. He'll face Helena Moreno, a young news anchor who was the only white candidate in the race, in a run-off for the Democratic nomination.
Up in Morris' home territory, LA-4, Democrats have to be disappointed that longtime Caddo Parish DA Paul Carmouche didn't top 50% in his primary, considering that he's one of the more highly touted Democratic candidates nationwide who's hoping to pick up an open Republican seat this fall. The good news for the Democrats though is that the Republicans will also face a run-off before their nomination is settled, and that's likely to be a nasty race.
