Geography
[edit]District 15 covers northern East Baton Rouge Parish, including parts of Baton Rouge, Central, and Zachary, and all of Baker.[2]
The district overlaps with Louisiana's 2nd and 6th congressional districts, and with the 29th, 61st, 62nd, 63rd, 64th, 65th, 69th, and 101st districts of the Louisiana House of Representatives.[4]
