Algiers has a Republican legislator ? I thought that was a Black slum ?

Here's the map of Tucker's district.

It looks as if north Algiers is in the Democratic-held district right above it. Tucker's district has the southern part, it also takes in Terrytown and the West Bank further out from the New Orleans area.

Must be more “upscale”, but I didn’t think there was anything particularly desirable on that side of the Mississippi below the city. I remember taking a 5-hour boat ride from the city down to the swamps through the canals. It was sad and depressing, to say the least.
