Louisiana's 6th congressional district special election, 2008

Incumbent Richard Baker (R) resigned on Feb. 7, 2008 to become a lobbyist for the hedge fund industry.

Candidates:
- Donald Cazayoux (D) - State Rep. (website) Winner!
- Paul Sawyer (R) - Baker's chief of staff
Dates: Primary on March 8, 2008, followed by a general election on May 3, 2008.
Comments: Even though Louisiana's 6th district leans Republican, the post-Katrina migration has made it more Democratic, and Cazayoux was a well-known, popular candidate.
