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.
