Louisiana Democrats' victory in Saturday's congressional election a done deal
Fox News
State Sens. Karen Carter Peterson and Troy Carter in the runoff contest in the heavily blue district that stretches from New Orleans to Baton Rouge are both Democrats.
The two contenders who reached the runoff -- which was spurred after no candidate topped 50% of the vote in the March 20 special election -- are state Sens. Karen Carter Peterson and Troy Carter. The seat was left vacant earlier this year when Rep. Cedric Richmond, who represented the district for a decade, stepped down to join President Biden's administration as senior adviser and director of the Office of Public Liaison.More Related News
