The 30-year-old progressive policy advocate unseated Lambert Boissiere III, who has held his position for nearly 18 years on the five-member commission, which regulates the state's public utility companies and energy sector and sets electric rates, among other oversight powers. “Tonight, we have begun a new chapter for Louisiana,” Lewis said in a statement. “Tonight, the people of Louisiana start taking our power back. The commission consists of three Republicans and two Democrats, including Lewis, in a reliably red state.

— (AP) — Newcomer Davante Lewis won Saturday’s runoff for a seat on Louisiana’s Public Service Commission. The commission currently consists of three Republicans and two Democrats, including Lewis, in a reliably red state. Lambert Boissiere III, who has comfortably held a seat on Louisiana's Public Service Commission for 18 years, faces his toughest reelection Saturday in a runoff against newcomer Davante Lewis. For years, the commission has resisted calls to mandate that power companies get a certain share of their power from renewables, The Advocate reported. In addition, the incumbent received campaign contributions from utility companies that the commission regulates, including Entergy, Louisiana’s largest power company.
