Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District race has gained national attention after redistricting transformed it into a majority-Black district, with potential implications for the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives. There are five candidates vying for the seat: four Democrats – State Senator Cleo Fields, Political newcomer from Baton Rouge, Quentin Anderson, Wilken Jones, and Peter Williams, and Republican, Former State Senator Elbert Guillory. Political Analyst Bernie Pinsonat considers Cleo Fields, the frontrunner.
Republican, Elbert Guillory poses some threat to Fields, but Pinsonat says Guillory’s chance of beating Fields is very doubtful.
Cut 9 (12) “…is highly unlikely.”
