Geography

District 35 covers parts of Grant, Jackson, Lincoln, Ouachita, Rapides, and Winn Parishes in North Louisiana, including some or all of Monroe, West Monroe, Bawcomville, Brownsville, Claiborne, Ruston, Hodge, Ball, and Pineville.[2]

The district is located entirely within Louisiana's 5th congressional district, and overlaps with the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, and 27th 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.
