District Vacator Reason for change Successor Date successor
seated
01 Jefferson Parish Kidder
(D) 		Kidder was originally certified as the winner of the election; however, Nessell contested the results. Upon examination, the House determined that a clerical error had shown Kidder winning by a margin of two votes, when Nessell actually won by a margin of one vote. The House hence ruled that Nessell was entitled to the seat.[9] Andrew Nessell
