U.S. Rep. Garret Graves reverses course, says he won’t run for another term
Last month’s U.S. Supreme Court decision clearing the way for Louisiana to move forward with the new majority-Black 6th Congressional District was a huge victory for Democrats, and a positive turning point in the future direction of this state.
Changes in declared candidates in a high-profile race like this are inevitable, and now that Garrett Graves has bowed out, this race is an open seat — bringing Louisiana Democrats one step closer to flipping this seat and delivering a win for the people of the 6th Congressional District.
Other changes may happen as this race continues to take shape, but make no mistake — the Louisiana Democratic Party will employ every available resource to elect another Democrat to Louisiana’s congressional delegation this fall.

LOUISIANA DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATEMENT ON DONALD TRUMP’S CONVICTION
Chair Gaines: Party is “hard at work doing our part to defeat Trump”
BATON ROUGE, LA — Following Thursday’s news surrounding the jury verdict of Donald Trump’s hush money trial, Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Randal Gaines today issued the following statement:
“Trump’s guilty verdicts on all 34 felony counts by jurors in New York State Court demonstrate that no one person, regardless of status or former elected position, is above the requirements of obeying the law.
The untenable, unjustifiable, and unreasonable defenses that have been offered by Trump’s supporters further denote that his MAGA republican base has not only completely lost their moral compass in pursuit of political power, they are willing to compromise and forego the rule of law.
The only way to defeat Trump is at the ballot box. Louisiana Democrats are hard at work doing our part to ensure Trump never returns to office again.”
