Geography
[edit]District 14 is located entirely within East Baton Rouge Parish, including most of downtown Baton Rouge and the main campus of Louisiana State University.[2]
The district is split between Louisiana's 2nd and 6th congressional districts, and overlaps with the 29th, 61st, 63rd, 66th, 67th, 68th, 70th, and 101st districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives.[4]
