Results of the 2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Louisiana by district: Steve Scalise Republican Steve Scalise Republican The incumbent was Republican Steve Scalise, who had represented the district since 2008.
In late 2014, Scalise became embroiled in a controversy over a speech he had given to the white supremacist group European-American Unity and Rights Organization, which was founded by David Duke, in 2002.
This prompted Duke to say that he might run against Scalise in 2016 because Scalise had been "elected on false pretenses" and had "betrayed" the voters by "suggesting that they're racist because they supported my views".
