Summary
Democratic Rep. Cleo Fields of Louisiana announced he will not seek reelection to Congress. Instead, he will run for the state Senate in Louisiana’s 14th District. This decision comes after a Supreme Court ruling and new Louisiana congressional map reshaped his district in Republicans’ favor. Fields had previously held the state Senate seat before winning election to Congress in 2024. The National Republican Congressional Committee targeted Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District after Fields’ announcement.
