Here’s something you don’t hear that often in Louisiana: Democrats have flipped a Republican seat in the Legislature.  Former Kenner City Council member Gregory Carroll led a three-person field with 62% of the vote this week, giving the Democratic Party House District 92 in Jefferson Parish. Carroll will replace former Rep. Joe Stagni, a moderate Republican who is now a member of the Kenner City Council.
