Republican Ken Calvert Wins Reelection to U.S. House in California's 40th Congressional District
Calvert prevailed in a rare incumbent-vs.-incumbent race after redistricting put the two Republicans in the same seat.
- Republican State Sen. Blake Miguez advanced to a Dec. 12 runoff for Louisiana's Sixth Congressional District seat after Tuesday night's election, facing Democrat Chauna Banks, a former EBR Metro Councilmember.
- Ten candidates, including six Republicans and three Democrats, competed for the seat. According to unofficial results from the Louisiana Secretary of State, Banks led with 50,878 votes while Miguez secured 50,213.
- Addressing supporters on Tuesday, Miguez said, "We've been on a crazy journey together. I love how this district turned out, it is the heart and soul of Louisiana."
- Miguez framed the runoff as a matter of local decision-making, stating, "this is Louisiana politics, we have to decide who we want to send to D.C. on our own."
- Throughout his campaign, Miguez criticized "socialist Democrats" on border and Second Amendment policies, while Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill confirmed his residency in New Iberia met constitutional requirements.
