Elections in the spotlight: Louisiana voters head to the polls Saturday with a closely watched U.S. Senate primary and several statewide races plus constitutional amendments—while U.S. House contests are canceled for Saturday and pushed to the fall open primary cycle. Courts and power struggle: The Louisiana Supreme Court temporarily blocked retired Judge Calvin Johnson from taking over as interim Orleans Parish clerk, leaving Chelsey Richard Napoleon in place as a lawsuit and special-election plan play out. Local pay boost: Baton Rouge city-parish employees are set to get pay raises June 27 after Metro Council approved the funding plan. Food culture goes IRL: TikTok star Keith Lee is bringing his “Keith Lee effect” to New Orleans with FamiLee Day on May 16, aiming to spotlight local restaurants in person. Energy keeps rolling: Gov. Jeff Landry and Caturus announced a $13B LNG project in Cameron Parish, pushing Louisiana’s two-year industrial investment total past $100B. Sports, quick hits: LSU baseball fell to Florida 11-8; Falcons and Steelers released 2026 schedules, including international games.
