Republicans Make History - Surpass Democrats in Voter Registration

Baton Rouge, La. – The Republican Party of Louisiana (LAGOP) today proudly announced that Republicans have officially surpassed Democrats in total registered voters for the first time in the state’s modern history.

In a new video message, LAGOP Chairman Derek Babcock celebrated the milestone and thanked the thousands of grassroots volunteers whose hard work made it possible.

“Louisiana, we have done it! For the first time in our state’s history, Republicans have officially surpassed Democrats in voter registration,” said Chairman Babcock. “To every grassroots volunteer, door knockers, phone bankers, all the Republicans who stepped up to help register new voters, this victory belongs to you!”

The shift comes as Louisiana prepares to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, marking a new chapter of conservative momentum in the Pelican State. Under the leadership of Governor Jeff Landry and the conservative Legislature, Republicans are delivering results that are attracting more voters to the Party of freedom and opportunity.

The LAGOP emphasizes that the work is not finished and urges supporters to continue registering new Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.

“This is a historic day for Louisiana. Decades of Democratic dominance on the voter rolls have ended,” Babcock concluded. “Thank you to every patriot who helped make this possible.”
