Governors cannot appoint U.S. House members.

No, he’ll need to schedule a special election to fill the seat. Since it’s a safe Republican seat, he may take his sweet time.

In Louisiana they first hold a “jungle” primary in which all parties can participate. If no candidate in the primary exceeds 50% of the vote (and none will) then the top two finishers go to a runoff to select the Congresscritter.

NO.

They can replace a Senator.

NOT a member of the House.
