Democrat Chasity Verret Martinez won Louisiana’s special House election, defeating Republican Brad Daigle 62–38 percent in a district that Donald Trump carried by 13 points in 2024. The seat opened after the previous Democrat joined Governor Jeff Landry’s Alcohol and Tobacco office. Although not a party flip, Republicans had targeted the race as a key pickup in the heavily Trump-leaning region.

The result represents a dramatic 37-point swing from the presidential margin, signaling shifting local dynamics. Martinez, heavily outspent nearly three to one, focused on cost-of-living relief, health care access, and infrastructure, relying on grassroots parish-level organizing to secure the upset victory.
