LA-6 Special Election

In a stunning victory, Democrat Don Cazayoux defeated Republican Woody Jenkins to replace retired Republican Congressman Richard Baker. Cazayoux won the district 49% to 46%, this despite Republican ads, which tried to tie Cazayoux with Nancy Pelosi, Obama and Rev. Wright.

If anything, this Republican defeat is a sure sign of things to come this November.

The 6th Congressional district has remained Republican since 1975 with about a 7% lean Republican.
