The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, to elect the six U.S. representatives from the state of Louisiana, one from each of the state's six congressional districts. The elections coincided with those of other federal and state offices, including the United States Senate.
Under Louisiana's jungle primary system, all candidates appeared on the same ballot, regardless of party. If no candidate received 50 percent plus one vote during the primary election, a runoff election was held on December 6, 2014, between the top two candidates in the primary.[1]

The incumbent is Republican Vance McAllister, who had represented the district since winning a special election in 2013. In early April 2014, following the release of a video that showed the married McAllister kissing a female staffer who was the wife of a friend, McAllister faced calls for him to resign, which he resisted.[8][9] Though he initially said that he planned to run for re-election,[10] on April 28, 2014, he announced that he would serve out his term and not run for re-election.[11][12] However, he later changed his mind and ran for re-election.[11][13] He did not survive the "top two" primary and was eliminated from the runoff election on December 6.
