The Democratic Party was able to win the seat for the representative of Louisiana's 6th congressional district for the second time in 50 years.

Cleo Fields, a longtime Baton Rouge politician, won more than 50 percent of the vote in an open primary, negating the need for a runoff.

Democrat Cleo Fields has won Louisiana’s congressional race in a recently redrawn second majority-Black district, flipping a once reliably Republican seat blue. Fields' win means Democrats will hold two congressional seats in the state for the first time in a decade.
