Louisiana's 7th State Senate district is one of 39 districts in the Louisiana State Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Gary Carter Jr. since 2021.[3] [4]
District 7 covers much of southern New Orleans and parts of Jefferson and Plaquemines Parishes, including all of Algiers and parts of Gretna, Terrytown, and Belle Chasse.[2]
The district overlaps with Louisiana's 1st and 2nd congressional districts, and with the 85th, 87th, 102nd, and 105th districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives.[5]
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.
