Julia Letlow wins northeast Louisiana-based US House seat
Associated Press— Republican Julia Letlow easily won a Saturday special election for the northeast Louisiana-based U.S. House seat that her husband, Luke, couldn’t fill because of his death from complications related to COVID-19. What was born out of the terrible tragedy of losing my husband, Luke, has become my mission in his honor to carry the torch and serve the good people of Louisiana’s 5th District,” Julia Letlow said in a statement. Former President Donald Trump congratulated Letlow on what he said was an “incredible victory” because she avoided a runoff election despite running in a crowded field. Julia Letlow ran in her deep red district with the backing of former President Donald Trump, the endorsement of the state GOP and more money raised than all her competitors combined.
