Who is my U.S. representative in LA-01?
Your representative for Louisiana's 1st congressional district (LA-01) is Steve Scalise (R), who currently serves as House Majority Leader. He's represented the district since May 7, 2008. GovTrack.us A couple of things worth knowing: LA-01 covers the northern shore of Lake Pontchartrain south to the Mississippi River Delta, most of New Orleans' suburbs, and a sliver of New Orleans itself. Wikipedia Louisiana's district maps were redrawn this year after a Supreme Court ruling — on May 29, 2026, Governor Jeff Landry signed a new congressional map into law, removing one of the state's two Black-majority districts — so it's worth double-checking your exact address falls in LA-01 under the new map if you're near a boundary. Wikipedia Scalise is up for reelection this year: he's running in the general election on November 3, 2026, against Democratic challengers Lauren Jewett, Donna Major, and Candida Pagel. Ballotpedia
