Mad Dog Mail is extremely proud to have helped 16 Louisiana Democratic State Representatives facing opposition this year win outright on Saturday, Oct. 22. We did not lose a single Democratic incumbent on election night, nor was a single Democratic incumbent forced into a runoff.
Our incumbents won in a tough political and economic climate. Our winning margin for districts under 50% DPI was 56.9%. The average vote percentage for all incumbents was 68%.
Three incumbents, in conservative districts, stand out because of the avalanche of opposition spending from the Louisiana Republican Party and Republican PACs.
In a district where polling showed the generic ballot at 45% R to just 25% D, Rep. James Armes won a tough three-way race without a run-off, recieving over 55% of the vote. | Rep. Bernard LeBas won a three-way race outright in the primary with 52% of the vote even a district where polling showed the generic ballot 42% R to 33% D. | Rep. Jack Montoucet won handily with 63% of the vote despite being targeted heavily by Republicans and running in a district with the generic ballot of 44% R to 28% D. |
Andy Anders with 69% of the vote
Robert Johnson with 63% of the vote
Regina Barrow with 64% of the vote
Dorothy Sue Hill with 78% of the vote
A. B. Franklin with 78% of the vote
Ledricka Thierry with 79% of the vote
Jerry “Truck” Gisclair with 59% of the vote
Karen St. Germain with 86% of the vote

Pat Smith with 61% of the vote
John Bel Edwards with 83% of the vote
