Louisiana's 5th congressional district

Louisiana's 5th Congressional District is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Louisiana. The district covers most of the northeastern and central portions of the state and contains the cities of Monroe and Alexandria.
On November 16, 2013, Republican newcomer Vance McAllister, a businessman from Swartz, handily defeated fellow Republican State Senator Neil Riser of Columbia in Caldwell Parish to claim the seat in a special election. McAllister led Riser, 54,449 (59.7) to 36,837 (40.3 percent), with all 981 precincts reporting. McAllister won fourteen of the twenty-four parishes in the district, including large margins in Ouachita and Rapides.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=5th congressional district special election returns, November 16, 2013 )〕 McAllister had criticized Governor Bobby Jindal for not extending Medicaid to qualified poor Louisianians and Riser had endorsed the refusal. The election was seen as a rejection of Jindal's efforts to have the seat vacated and to replace Alexander with his hand-picked candidate in a low-turnout special election.〔('Riser, Alexander and Jindal' ), the Advocate, James Gill, 3 November 2013. Retrieved 17 November 2013.〕 The runoff turnout was less than 19%, three percent less than it had been in the primary.〔('Political newcomer Vance McAllister wins 5th District special election' ), Times-Picayune, By Lauren McGaughy, 16 November 2013. Retrieved 17 November 2013.〕
Previously the seat was held by Rodney Alexander, who in 2004 had switched from the Democratic Party to the GOP. Alexander resigned on September 26, 2013 to become secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs under Governor Jindal.
Originally 14 candidates ran to succeed Alexander, including Clyde C. Holloway, a former representative from Louisiana's 8th congressional district, since disbanded. Riser and McAllister emerged from the primary to meet in the runoff.
