Less than a week ago, New Jersey’s Governor-elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social won on a promise to voters — no more rate hikes on day one.
The message is clear: Americans care about affordability right now. That is going to include energy costs too. I hope ALL our leaders are listening. ⚡️💡

As LIHEAP funds dry up during the federal shutdown, I’m urging my fellow Commissioners and utilities to ⏸️ pause all shutoffs. Louisiana families are already stretched thin—let’s protect our neighbors from losing heat and power.

Democratic Commissioners are ready to hold utilities accountable, tackle affordability, and protect our environment . Also, don’t sleep on the South.

From law to line work, the energy sector will hire 32M people over the next decade.
That’s why I’m working to build stronger partnerships between Louisiana’s HBCUs and utility companies — creating a long-term investment in equity and opportunity across our state.

Louisiana Public Service Commissioners make sure that utility companies provide reliable & reasonably priced services to our residents. My district includes both Baton Rouge & New Orleans. This means that sometimes our business gets done in the heart of the historic French Quarter. ⚜️

Q: What does an "all of the above" energy approach mean?
A: Utilizing a wide range of resources to ensure a stable & reliable energy supply. The goal? To leverage the strengths of each & mitigate over-reliance on any single source.

Entergy New Orleans has sold the gas portion of its business to Delta_utilities.
Delta has assured me that they are working through any issues with their pay-in-person services.

Trump's bill is still tied up in the Senate. Not only would it slash medicaid and SNAP, it may also make your energy bills higher too.
A new report from @EnergyInnovLLC assesses the impacts of the bill on U.S. Energy costs, jobs, health, and emissions.

I hoped that today we would see a clear ruling — one that affirms democracy, upholds the Voting Rights Act, and says unequivocally that Black voters in Louisiana are entitled to fair maps & full representation. Instead #SCOTUS has re-calendarized this case for the next term:
