Towns entirely or partially within the district include Oak Grove, Bastrop, Farmerville, Swartz, Monroe, West Monroe, Claiborne, Homer, and Haynesville.[2]

Recent election results
Louisiana uses a jungle primary system. If no candidate receives 50% in the first round of voting, when all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, the top-two finishers advance to a runoff election.
