Johnson Secures Majority, Avoids Runoff
With all precincts reporting, Johnson received approximately 58.5% of the total votes cast, comfortably exceeding the majority required to win outright under Louisiana’s election system.
Cable received approximately 23% of the vote, while Gromlich received approximately 14.3%.
Combined, the four candidates challenging Johnson received 95,600 votes, compared with Johnson’s 134,739.
Because Johnson received more than half the votes cast, the reported results do not require a runoff election.
All 15 Parishes Reporting

Unofficial turnout was 47.8%, with 230,339 votes recorded in the congressional contest.
