The race to succeed the White House adviser Cedric Richmond in the Second Congressional District has been dominated by two New Orleans state senators, Karen Carter Peterson and Troy Carter. In the Fifth District, Julia Letlow is the heavy favorite to claim the seat to which her husband, Luke Letlow, was elected in November before he died of the coronavirus. Both races could be headed for runoffs if no candidate garners 50 percent of the vote. See full results from the Louisiana general election in November.
