Geography

District 33 covers much of North Louisiana's border with Arkansas, including all of Union and West Carroll Parishes and parts of Claiborne, Lincoln, Morehouse, and Ouachita Parishes. Towns entirely or partially within the district include Oak Grove, Bastrop, Farmerville, Swartz, Monroe, West Monroe, Claiborne, Homer, and Haynesville.[2]

The district is split between U.S. congressional districts 4 and 5, and overlaps with Louisiana House of Representatives districts 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19.[4]

Recent election results

Louisiana uses a jungle primary system. If no candidate receives 50% in the first round of voting, when all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, the top-two finishers advance to a runoff election.
