The 1975 Louisiana gubernatorial election resulted in the re-election of Edwin Edwards to his second term as governor of Louisiana. Edwards characterized his victory as a “solid expression of support by the people of Louisiana for some expansive reform.”
Edwards's re-election in 1975 to a second consecutive term marked the last time that a Democrat achieved that milestone until 2019, 44 years later, when John Bel Edwards (no relation) won re-election.
Louisiana adopted the Louisiana primary system in 1978, making 1975 the last time the state elected a governor under its prior system.
