SUMMARY: In Louisiana’s recent congressional elections, five incumbents faced poorly-funded opponents, leading to a decline in average campaign expenditures. The Federal Election Commission tracks financial activity from January 1 until mid-October. Incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise received $13.5 million and spent $14.3 million, lower than previous cycles. Rep. Troy Carter raised $1.8 million and spent $1.4 million, also down from 2022. U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins maintained stable spending patterns, while House Speaker Mike Johnson’s financial activity saw a significant boost, raising $17.4 million. Voter turnout was notably down in 2024, reflecting a broader trend alongside decreased campaign spending.

SUMMARY: A federal judge blocked Louisiana’s law requiring Ten Commandments displays in classrooms, citing constitutional concerns. Judge John deGravelles issued a preliminary injunction, halting Gov. Jeff Landry’s House Bill 71, which mandates the displays pending a final court ruling. The judge ruled the law unconstitutional, noting its “overtly religious” purpose and similarity to a 1980 Supreme Court case that struck down a similar Kentucky law. The state plans to appeal the decision. Critics argued it infringed on students’ First Amendment rights, while the state contended the law could be implemented constitutionally as a historical reference. The case will be reviewed by the 5th Circuit Court.
