The Louisiana Congressional Delegation

The Louisiana Congressional Delegation consists of elected representatives from Louisiana in the U.S. Congress—two Senators and a number of House members based on the state's population. Senators serve six-year terms representing the entire state, while House members serve two-year terms representing specific districts. Together, they create and pass federal laws, oversee government programs, and represent Louisiana's interests at the national level. The delegation’s size and composition can change slightly after each census, reflecting shifts in population. Their roles are vital for ensuring Louisiana's voices are heard in federal policymaking.
