Democrats Pick Up House Seat in LA-6

Don Cazayoux (D) won a special election yesterday in LA-6 "bolstering his party's majority status on Capitol Hill by taking a seat Republicans have held since 1974," according to the Baton Rouge Advocate.

Cazayoux beat Woody Jenkins (R) "to cap a race that Democrats viewed as a chance to further tighten control over Congress. The seat opened when Republican Richard Baker, a 20-year incumbent, resigned to take a lobbying job."

CQ Politics: "Cazayoux's win gives the national Democratic Party a second stunning special election victory in a usually Republican-leaning district in less than two months."
