Julia Janelle Barnhill Letlow (born March 16, 1981) is the Republican U.S. Representative for Louisiana's 5th congressional district, anchored in Ouachita, Rapides, and the Florida parishes. She succeeded her late 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 with nearly two-thirds of the votes cast in a low turnout election. She led in twenty-three of the twenty-four parishes in the district, falling short only in East Feliciana Parish. She led even in the heavily African American and Democratic parishes of East Carroll, Madison, and Tensas. In second place was the only Democrat in the race, Sandra "Candy" Christophe of Alexandria, who had also sought the seat in the general election held on November 3, 2020. In a weak third place was the Republican Chad Louis Conerly (born 1966) of Kentwood in Washington Parish, a veteran of the United States Air Force in the Iraq War. With all of the 825 precincts in the district reporting, Letlow polled 67,199 votes (65 percent); Christophe, 28,252 (27 percent), and Conerly, 5,497 (5 percent).[1]

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, she was an administrator at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. She is an Evangelical Presbyterian.

Ten days before her election Julia Letlow was endorsed by former U.S. President Donald Trump.[2] She also carried the backing of previous U.S. Representative, Ralph Abraham, who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2019 against fellow Republican Eddie Rispone and Democratic incumbent John Bel Edwards.

A few days prior to the election, a caller to The Moon Griffon Show radio broadcast cast doubt on Mrs. Letlow's conservative credentials[3] after she declared in January 2021 that there was no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.[4]

In November 2023, Representative Letlow joined sixty-nine other Republicans to vote to establish a new $300 million building to house the FBI.[5] It is unknown if this particular vote will convince a conservative to challenge Mrs. Letlow in the 2024 congressional primary.
