Wardsworth ran in the 2011 election for Louisiana Senate District 29. She faced Tony Vets (R) and Rick Gallot (D) in the primary election on October 22, 2011. Because Louisiana uses a blanket primary system, a candidate can be declared the overall winner of the seat by garnering 50 percent +1 of the vote in the primary. However, if no candidate reaches this threshold, then a general election will take place on November 19, 2011 between the top-two vote getters. Gallot received over 50 percent +1 of the votes in the October 22 election.[1]
