Rep. Don Cazayoux (D), who earned his LA-06 seat in a May special election, has been defeated by state Sen. Bill Cassidy (R). The AP called the race with Cassidy leading 56-37%, with Dem state Rep. Michael Jackson (I) taking 8%. Cazayoux defeated a bad GOP candidate in the special, and winning this GOP-leaning CD in the general was always a very difficult proposition. The fact that Jackson, an African-American,...

Bennett Petts & Normington for the DCCC (10/8-9, likely voters): Don Cazayoux (D-inc) : 46 Bill Cassidy (R) : 29 Michael Jackson (I) : 9 (MoE: ?4.9%) That spread is very similar to a recent Anzalone Liszt internal for Cazayoux showing a 48-32-9 race. While I'm still not comfortable seeing turncoat Dem Michael Jackson getting nearly one-tenth of the vote, that number could come down a notch in November...

By Nathan L. Gonzales Louisiana Rep. Don Cazayoux (D) can’t rest easy after his special election victory in the 6th district just a few months ago. His victory expanded the Democratic Party’s House majority, but one of his new colleagues, Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), contributed to an Independent candidate who is complicating Cazayoux’s re-election effort in November. Cazayoux won the May 3 special...
