DDHQ projects Jamie Davis wins the Louisiana US Senate Democratic runoff

On June 27, 2026, Louisiana voters cast their ballots in the Democratic runoff for the U.S. Senate, with Jamie Davis and Gary Crockett as the two remaining candidates. According to projections from DDHQ, Davis secured victory in the runoff, capturing a majority of the vote and securing the Democratic nomination for the November general election.

Davis, a third-generation farmer and small business owner from Tensas Parish, received 47% of the vote in the May 16 primary, outperforming his competitors and carrying all 64 parishes in Louisiana. His campaign emphasized affordability, healthcare access, and economic opportunity, aligning with working families' concerns. The runoff against Crockett was expected to be competitive, but Davis maintained strong fundraising and grassroots support.

As of June 27, Davis had raised $562,283 and spent $342,312 in the primary, according to campaign finance disclosures. His campaign has maintained a focus on small-dollar donations, with an average contribution of $14 and no corporate PAC support. The runoff result positions Davis as the Democratic nominee in a general election that will pit him against the winner of the Republican runoff between Julia Letlow and John Fleming.

The November general election will determine Louisiana’s next U.S. Senator, with the state’s current delegation consisting of two Democratic and six Republican representatives in the U.S. House. Davis’ victory in the runoff marks a significant step in a race that has drawn national attention due to its implications for balance of power in the Senate.
