In the 2018 House race for LA-04, Mike Johnson (R) won with 64.2% of the vote, defeating Ryan Trundle (D) who received 33.6%. A third candidate also appeared on the ballot. Mike Johnson's 30.6-point advantage over the runner-up confirmed a comfortable win.

This was an open-seat race with no incumbent running — John Fleming (R) previously held the seat. Open seats typically attract stronger candidates and heavier spending from both parties. As a Republican, Mike Johnson won despite the historical midterm penalty against the president's party (Republican Trump was in office).
