'''Julia Janelle Barnhill Letlow''' (born March 16, 1981) is the incoming [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[U.S. Representative]] for [[Louisiana]]'s 5th congressional district, anchored in Ouachita,Rapides, and the Florida parishes. She succeeds her husband, [[Luke Letlow]], who won the House seat in a runoff election on December 6, 2020. Three weeks later Letlow died of a heart attack stemming from complications of the [[coronavirus]]. He was to have been sworn into office five days after his death.
Mrs. Letlow defeated a 12-candidate field by a wide margin. The only [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] in the race, Sandra "Sandy" Christophe of [[Alexandria, Louisiana|Alexandria]], who had also run in the [[general election]] held on November 3, 2020, finished in second place. Republican Chad Conerly was in a weak third place.<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Special election returns, March 20, 2021.</ref>
She resides in Oak Ridge in Morehouse Parish Her two children are Jacqueline Taylor Letlow (born 2017) and Jeremiah John Letlow (born 2019). Prior to her congressional race, Julia was an administrator at the [[University of Louisiana at Monroe]]. She is an Evangelical Presbyterian.

S. Representative, [[Ralph Abraham]], who ran unsuccessfully for [[governor]] in 2019 against fellow Republican [[Eddie Rispone]] and [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] incumbent [[John Bel Edwards]].
A few days prior to the election, a caller to ''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]]'' radio broadcast cast doubt on Mrs. Letlow's conservative credentials after she declared that there is no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.<ref>>''[[Moon Griffon|The Moon Griffon Show]],'' March 16, 2021.</ref>'
