Attorney General before election

Elected Attorney General

Jeff Landry
Republican

The 2015 Louisiana Attorney General election took place on October 24, 2015, to elect the Attorney General of the U.S. state of Louisiana, with a runoff election, held on November 21, 2015. Incumbent Buddy Caldwell, a former Democrat who joined the Republican Party in February 2011, sought re-election to a third term in office, but was defeated by fellow Republican Jeff Landry.

Under Louisiana's jungle primary system, all candidates will appear on the same ballot, regardless of party affiliation; voters may vote for any candidate, regardless of their own party affiliation. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote during the primary election, a runoff election was held on November 21, 2015, between Caldwell and Landry. Louisiana is the sole state that has a jungle primary system (California and Washington have a similar "top two primary" system).
