Geography

District 14 is located entirely within East Baton Rouge Parish, including most of downtown Baton Rouge and the main campus of Louisiana State University.[2]

The district is split between Louisiana's 2nd and 6th congressional districts, and overlaps with the 29th, 61st, 63rd, 66th, 67th, 68th, 70th, and 101st districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives.[4]

Recent election results

Louisiana uses a jungle primary system. If no candidate receives 50% in the first round of voting, when all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, the top-two finishers advance to a runoff election.
