Congressman Troy Carter Re-Elected to La. Congressional District 2

The Associated Press said Carter secured about 70% of the vote, extending his run as the district's representative.

  • On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids won reelection in Kansas' 3rd Congressional District, defeating Republican Eric Jenkins and Libertarian Steve Hohe. Her victory preserves historic LGBTQ+ and Native American representation in Congress.
  • Opponent Jenkins, a former Shawnee City Council member, opposed local non-discrimination ordinances and supported Kansas' "ban on transgender athletes participating in girls." This defined the campaign contrast with Davids.
  • A co-chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus, Davids reintroduced the Pride in Mental Health Act and advocates for the Equality Act to expand federal civil rights protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
  • Davids previously challenged the Trump administration over the national 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline after specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth were eliminated. The administration subsequently announced plans in 2026 to restore the service.
  • As the first openly LGBTQ+ Native American sent to Congress, Davids continues focusing on evidence-based services for constituents historically excluded from political power, building on her 2018 victory over Republican incumbent Kevin Yoder.
