NEW ORLEANS — House Majority Leader Steve Scalise will retain his seat after winning in Tuesday's election.

The Republican congressman beat Democrat Lauren Jewett, Republican Randall Arrington and no-party candidate Liddy Glass.

Scalise's district covers much of southeast Louisiana, including the Northshore area and New Orleans. He has held his position since 2008.

The congressman made headlines in September when he was pushing for the US Space Force's academy to be established in Louisiana. 

According to his website, "Scalise is a strong leader who upholds the Constitution and advocates for the principles of fiscal discipline, lower taxes, a robust national defense, strong border security, freedom, and conservative values."
