Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Incumbent Cleo Fields (D) running for re-election, but the new 2026 map (SB 121) dismantled this majority-Black district, clustering it around predominantly white Baton Rouge / southern Louisiana communities and making it strongly Republican-leaning (~R+11), so Fields faces longshot odds. Louisiana uses an OPEN all-party primary on Nov 3, 2026 (runoff Dec 12). Candidate qualifying is Aug 5-7, 2026; additional Republicans expected. Christian Johnson is a declared Republican candidate. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the LA-06 place page.
