The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 to elect the six U.S. representatives from the state of Louisiana, one from each of the state’s six congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including the United States Senate.
Under Louisiana’s jungle primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party. If no candidate received 50 percent plus one vote during the primary election, a runoff election will be held on December 6, 2014, between the top two candidates in the primary.[1]
Overview[edit]
Results of the 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana by district:[2]
District 1[edit]
Republican incumbent Steve Scalise, who has represented the 1st district since 2008, considered running for the U.S. Senate, but instead ran for re-election.[3] He faced Democrats Lee A. Dugas and M. V. “Vinny” Mendoza and Libertarian Jeffry “Jeff” Sanford in the election.[4]
District 2[edit]
Democratic incumbent Cedric Richmond, who has represented the 2nd district since 2011, ran for re-election.[3] He faced Democrat Gary Landrieu, Libertarian Samuel Davenport and Independent David Brooks in the election.[4] Democrat Rufus H. Johnson had filed to run, but was disqualified following a lawsuit from Richmond’s campaign.[6]
District 3[edit]
Republican incumbent Charles Boustany, who has represented the 3rd district since 2013, and previously represented the 7th district from 2005 to 2013, considered running for the U.S. Senate, but instead ran for re-election.[3] He faced Republican Bryan Barrilleaux and Independent Russell Richard in the election.[4]
District 4[edit]
Republican incumbent John Fleming, who has represented the 4th district since 2009, considered running for the U.S. Senate, but instead ran for re-election.[7] He faced Libertarian Randall Lord in the election. Democrat Justin Ansley had been running, but withdrew from the race.[4]
District 5[edit]
The incumbent is Republican Vance McAllister, who had represented the district since winning a special election in 2013. In early April 2014, following the release of a video that showed the married McAllister kissing a female staffer who was the wife of a friend, McAllister faced calls for him to resign, which he resisted.[8][9] Though he initially said that he planned to run for re-election,[10] on April 28, 2014, he announced that he would serve out his term and not run for re-election.[11][12] However, he later changed his mind and ran for re-election.[11][13] He did not survive the “top two” primary and was eliminated from the runoff election on December 6.
