Geography

District 9 is based in the Jefferson Parish city of Metairie, also incorporating smaller parts of Jefferson and Uptown New Orleans.[2]

The district overlaps with Louisiana's 1st and 2nd congressional districts, and with the 79th, 80th, 82nd, 94th, and 98th 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.
