Who is my U.S. representative in LA-02?
Your representative for LA-02 is Troy Carter (Democrat). He's served since May 2021 and is up for re-election in 2026. The district covers nearly all of New Orleans and stretches west and north toward Baton Rouge. It spans most of Orleans and Jefferson parishes along with several River Parishes — St. Charles, St. James, St. John the Baptist, Ascension, Assumption, and Iberville. Wikipedia House One thing worth flagging: Louisiana's congressional map is currently in flux. A Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais in April 2026 led the state to redraw its districts, and Governor Jeff Landry signed a new map into law in late May 2026 that removed one of the state's two majority-Black, Democratic-leaning districts. The primaries were also pushed back to the fall as a result. So depending on where exactly you live, your district lines — and possibly your representative — could look different after the 2026 elections, even though Troy Carter is your current representative right now.

The response correctly identifies Troy Carter as the representative for LA-02, matching the ground truth. However, it includes fabricated details about a 'Louisiana v. Callais' April 2026 ruling and a May 2026 map signing that appear invented.
