Lambert Boissiere III, who has comfortably held a seat on Louisiana's Public Service Commission for 18 years, faces his toughest reelection in a runoff against newcomer Davante Lewis.
Additionally, Louisiana shares its southern border with the Gulf of Mexico and has tens of thousands of jobs tied to the oil and gas industry. In 2021, Louisiana ranked third among the top natural gas-producing states — accounting for nearly 10% of the United States’ natural gas production that year, behind only Texas and Pennsylvania.
Boissiere, 57, was first elected in 2005 and hopes to secure a fourth term. Lewis, a 30-year-old progressive policy advocate, says it is time for a “new generation of leaders.”
