NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Voters in southeastern Louisiana chose party candidates Saturday for congressional races in two conservative-leaning districts, including a contest in which Democrats are mounting a strong challenge for a seat held by Republicans for 32 years.
Saturday's voting was in party runoff races in special elections. The winners and independent candidates face off in general elections May 3.
The Republican and Democratic front-runners won their respective races for the 6th Congressional District, setting the stage for a combative general election for a district that covers Baton Rouge and the surrounding Old South plantation country.
