| Description | Rep. Jeff Landry (R-La.), a tea party-backed freshman, appears to have drawn the short straw in Louisiana’s new congressional map, as the delegation downsizes from seven members to six.
Negotiations are continuing in Baton Rouge on the details and a final vote on a plan is not expected before the weekend. But key legislative leaders—with encouragement from GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal—have coalesced behind a map that would carve up Landry’s district, according to news reports and Republicans who are monitoring the redistricting deal-making. |
