Voters went to the polls Saturday to choose among four candidates seeking to replace former state Rep. Paula Davis, who stepped down earlier this year.
The candidates in the race include:
- Adam Beach (R)
- Lynn Cox Graham (R)
- Angela Roberts (D)
- Paul Sawyer (R)
Louisiana legislative races use an all-party primary system, meaning if a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, they win the seat outright. If no candidate reaches that threshold, the top two candidates will advance to a runoff election.
Final results (35 of 35 precincts reporting)
- Adam Beach (R) – 3% (141)
- Lynn Cox Graham (R) – 4% (182)
- Angela Roberts (D) – 40% (1,945)
- Paul Sawyer (R) – 53% (2,587)
Officials say polls closed at 8 p.m. Saturday, and vote totals are expected to continue updating throughout the evening.
House District 69 includes portions of East Baton Rouge Parish, including parts of Baton Rouge and St. George.
You can see the full results for this election on the Louisiana Secretary of State’s website.
