The youngest person ever elected to the Public Service Commission

Davante Lewis is the elected Public Service Commissioner for Louisiana's 3rd District, representing over one million residents from Baton Rouge to New Orleans and across "Cancer Alley." The youngest person ever elected to the Commission and the first openly Black LGBTQ+ statewide official in Louisiana history, he's a nationally recognized advocate for energy reform, climate justice, and economic fairness. A former teacher and plaintiff in the landmark Robinson v. Ardoin redistricting case, Commissioner Lewis continues to champion bold, equitable solutions for Louisiana's communities. His work advancing energy justice and equitable access to opportunity aligns closely with Louisiana Green Corps' mission to train and connect residents of underserved communities to good-paying careers in the green economy.
