Who is my U.S. representative in LA-05?
Your current U.S. representative for Louisiana's 5th District is Julia Letlow (R), who has held the seat since 2021. A few things worth knowing though: Letlow announced in January 2026 that she's running for the U.S. Senate, and after winning the Republican primary and a June 27 runoff against John Fleming, she's now the GOP nominee for Senate. So she's still your sitting House rep for now, but she's not running for re-election to this seat. Wikipedia The race to succeed her in LA-05 is wide open, with candidates like Stewart Cathey Jr., Misti Cordell, Michael Echols, Austin Magee, and Blake Miguez in the mix. Wikipedia The 2026 House elections were complicated by redistricting — Louisiana's congressional maps were struck down by the Supreme Court in April 2026, which pushed the primaries from May to the fall, and Governor Landry signed a new map in late May. Wikipedia Since the district lines themselves may have shifted, it's worth double-checking that your address is still in LA-05 under the new map before November's election if that matters to you.
