Who's running so far in Louisiana's party primary elections

Candidates have one day left to sign up for the 2026 elections in Louisiana, including the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Public Service Commission, Louisiana Supreme Court and Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Louisiana has completely overhauled how voters will choose candidates. Instead of everyone facing off against each other in a “jungle primary,” separate primaries for Democrat and Republican candidates take place May 16, with runoffs on June 27 if needed. Candidates who advance from these primary elections move on to the general election Nov. 3.

Voters are limited to participating in the primary aligned with their party registration, though voters who are not party members can cast ballots in the primary election of their choice.

Here’s where the races stand as of end of day Thursday:

but that is why we have campaigns. i was worried we would have no one, ferriday is the home of jimmy swaggart (also jerry lee louis and micky gilly) so i got to be careful.

still hope jon bel edwards might throw in, but time flies

trump has loudly endorsed letlow

gov landry, viceroy of greenland, doesn;t like fleming, an ultra maga. .

cassidy is, well, so lame he will jump through hoops for maga, but of course voted to impeach long ago.

maybe i should check for a these guys in the trump/epstein data?

"louisiana freedom fund" is trashing letlow (the ad says she is as evil as nancy pelosi herself and maybe once said something nice about "dei&quot so maybe these guys will tear each other apart? and leave us an opening?????
