The 2026 Louisiana Senate election features Democrat Jamie Davis and Republican Julia Letlow. The seat is open and is currently controlled by Republicans. In 2024, Donald Trump won Louisiana by a wide margin, and Republicans are expected to easily retain the state's Senate seat in 2026. The race will test whether Davis can make the contest more competitive than Louisiana's recent federal results suggest or whether Letlow can keep the seat safely in Republican hands. Louisiana is expected to remain Republican-leaning unless the general-election environment changes dramatically.
