Politicians are filing for congressional seats at the Louisiana State Archives building.
Qualifying for the races started Wednesday and closes on Friday.
A court-ordered redraw of the state's election map made a second round of qualifying necessary after a filing period in February.
Incumbent Cleo Fields announced he wouldn't seek reelection in the 6th District.
Republican State Senator Rick Edmonds switched from the 5th District to the 6th.
GOP State Senator Blake Miguez, who previously qualified for the 5th District race, is reportedly considering a move to the 6th District, which may cost him President Donald Trump's endorsement.
