With a 2024 presidential margin of R+45, this north-central Louisiana district ranks among the state's most lopsided, reflecting a rural electorate that has shifted decisively away from competitive two-party contests over the past two decades.
The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Louisiana 28th State House District peaked at ninety-one points in 1904; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 2000 election delivered the district to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of zero points. By 2024, the margin had settled into deep Republican territory.
The economic and demographic context is severe. The median household income of $40,904 is among the lowest at this geographic scale; 28% of residents live below the federal poverty line.
