Louisiana's 16th State Senate district


Louisiana's 16th State Senate district is one of 39 districts in the Louisiana State Senate. It has been represented by Republican Franklin Foil since 2020.

Geography

District 16 covers south-central East Baton Rouge Parish, including parts of Baton Rouge and all of Inniswold, Oak Hills Place, Village St. George, and Westminster.
The district is located entirely within U.S. congressional district 6, and overlaps with Louisiana House of Representatives districts 61, 65, 66, 68, 69, and 70.

Recent election results

Louisiana uses a jungle primary system. If no candidate receives 50% in the first round of voting, when all candidates appear on the same ballot regardless of party, the top-two finishers advance to a runoff election.

2019

Initially, Franklin Foil and Steve Carter were exactly tied for second place, leading to a 3-way runoff election. However, following a recount, Foil was found to be the winner by 4 votes, and Carter conceded.
