KEY TAKEAWAYS: Paul Sawyer wins House District 69 with 53%, replacing Paula Davis. Sidney Barthelemy II claims Senate District 3 seat with 64% of the vote. Dana Henry wins House District 100 runoff, defeating Kenya Rounds with 53%. Republicans maintain supermajorities in both chambers of the L ouisiana Legislature.   Voters went to the polls in three parishes Saturday to fill three vacancies in the Louisiana Legislature, deciding two runoffs in the New Orleans area and settling a four-person contest for a Baton Rouge seat outright. Republican Paul Sawyer, whose political career to this point has been behind the scenes, won the race for Louisiana House District 69 outright against three other candidates, taking 53% of the vote to avoid a runoff. Democrat Angela Roberts, a paralegal, finished second with 40%. Sawyer replaces Paula Davis, a Republican who resigned from her seat in December with a year remaining in her term. Davis never specified why she chose to step down, although House Speaker Phillip DeVillier, R-Eunice, removed her from a committee leadership role one year into Gov. Jeff Landry‘s term in office.. Before his run for office, Sawyer was chief of staff for Congressmen Garret Graves and Richard Baker. He also worked with the Louisiana Economic Development agency. Sidney Barthelemy II, a construction company owner, claimed victory in a runoff against attorney Kenn Barnes for Senate District 3, which covers parts of Orleans and St. Bernard parishes. Barthelemy, who received 64% of the vote, shares the name of his father. The elder Barthelemy represented New Orleans in the Louisiana Senate from 1974-78 before winning an at-large seat on the New Orleans City Council and then being elected mayor, a post he held from 1986-94. The younger Barthelemy replaces Joe Bouie, who left office to become chancellor at Southern University New Orleans. In the House District 100 runoff, Dana Henry defeated Kenya Rounds in a showdown between two attorneys. Henry, who received 53% of the vote, replaces Jason Hughes, now a member of the New Orleans City Council. The two New Orleans-area runoffs pitted Democrats against one another. With all seats in the Louisiana Legislature now filled, Republicans still maintain super majorities in both chambers. ...read more read less
