Louisiana's 26th State Senate district is one of 39 districts in the Louisiana State Senate. It has been represented by Republican Bob Hensgens since a 2018 special election to succeed fellow Republican Jonathan Perry.
Geography District 26 covers all of Vermilion Parish and parts of Acadia, Lafayette, and St. Landry Parishes in Acadiana, including some or all of Abbeville, Kaplan, Erath, Scott, Rayne, Church Point, and Sunset.
The district overlaps with Louisiana's 3rd and 4th congressional districts, and with the 31st, 39th, 40th, 41st, 42nd, 45th, 47th, and 49th districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives.
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.
