Geography

District 32 covers a massive swath of Central Louisiana and Acadiana, including all of Caldwell, Catahoula, Franklin, and LaSalle Parishes, as well as parts of Avoyelles, Concordia, Ouachita, Rapides, Richland, and West Feliciana Parishes. Towns entirely or partially within the district include Jonesville, Winnsboro, Jena, Ferriday, Vidalia, and St. Francisville.[2]

The district is located entirely within U.S. congressional district 5, and overlaps with Louisiana House of Representatives districts 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, and 62.[4]

At over 4,000 square miles, it is the largest Senate district in Louisiana.[1]

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.
