TL;DR

Democrat Chasity Verret Martinez won the Louisiana state House special election in a district carried by Trump in 2024, defeating Republican Brad Daigle 62% to 38%. The seat opened after the previous Democrat joined the state Alcohol & Tobacco commission. Martinez’s victory isn’t a flip since Democrats already held the seat, but it marks a 37-point swing from 2024 and came despite Republicans outspending her 3-to-1.
