- Won a change to New Orleans’ ethics laws that now prohibit New Orleans City Council members from receiving campaign contributions from Entergy and other companies they regulate.
- Helped win a “Renewable Portfolio Standard” for New Orleans which mandates a schedule by which Entergy New Orleans must shift from carbon-intensive fossil fuels to renewable energy.
- Part of the founding group of leaders which initiated the Community Lighthouse project to build the largest network of solar-and-storage resilience hubs in the nation.
- Founded the Greater New Orleans Interfaith Climate Coalition.
- Co-founded the Louisiana Just Recovery Network, which helps people get back into their homes after severe weather events.
- Serves on the Board of Greater New Orleans YMCA, Salvation Army, Louisiana Lighthouse, on the Citywide Leadership Council of Together New Orleans; as co-moderator for Justice Beyond.
- Independence: Accept no campaign donations from any entity regulated by the Public Service Commissioner, now or ever in the future. Prohibit any Commissioner from accepting campaign donations from any regulated entity or entity with business before the Commission.
- Reducing the cost of electricity by restoring net metering for distributed solar, overhauling weatherization and energy-efficiency programs and passing a clean energy standard to shift Louisiana’s electricity generation to 100% renewable fuel sources by 2040.
- Responsiveness: Reorganize the PSC District 3 office around a constituent services model, with professional staff available to analyze bill and service complaints and direct constituents to the appropriate sources and resources.
We face a crisis in climate – the need to shift to renewable fuels, without sacrificing cost or consistency of supply.
We face a crisis in reliability – with long-duration outages now the leading cause of deaths from hurricanes and more blue-sky outages than almost any other state.
