Sixth District Race Heats Up | Baton Rouge News

Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District is exploding with political energy as ten candidates officially qualify for a race reshaped by a Supreme Court-backed redistricting map. With primaries hitting November 3rd and the general election on December 12th, voters face a fast-paced showdown across East Baton Rouge, Livingston, and Ascension parishes. Republicans include Stephen Wagley, Monique Appeaning, Larry Davis III, Rick Edmonds, Michael Mebreur, and Blake Miguez; Democrats field Chauna Banks, Pat Forbes, Lindsay Garcia, plus Libertarian Rufus Craig. Analysts warn the new map has slashed majority-minority districts, possibly reshaping Democratic strategy — though funding and organization will be key. Meanwhile, in Baton Rouge and beyond, several local races — including mayor of Zachary and judicial seats — are already decided, with the focus now squarely on Election Day.
