La. PSC Incumbent Boissiere Loses Runoff Contest Against Democratic Challenger

Louisiana PSC Democratic incumbent Lambert Boissiere lost 59.5%-40.5% against Democrat Davante Lewis in a Saturday runoff election. Boissiere, who had held the PSC seat for 17 years, finished well ahead of Lewis in the Nov. 8 general election but below the more than 50% threshold needed to win (see 2211090066). Incumbent PSC Republican Mike Francis won reelection during the general election against fellow Republican Shalon Latour and nonaffiliated candidate Keith Bodin.
