This person will educate residents about state level electric utility regulation and opportunities for engagement at the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) and work with partner organizations who lead Get Out The Vote (GOTV) efforts.
This is a temporary part time (20-30 hours/week) contract role that will conclude at the completion of the campaign in June 2026 with the possibility of extending through December 2026. Apply by November 19!
The LPSC is often referred to as one of the most impactful elected positions that no one knows about. We aim to change that through this education campaign. Nearly all of Louisiana’s energy decisions are made at the LPSC, including the applications for new power plants, review of rate increases, and intrastate oil pipelines. This coming year is an election year for two of the five elected Commissioners. Each term runs six years, with a three term limit, totaling up to a possible 18 years in office. This election is crucial for Louisiana residents, and we need engaged voters who understand the power of the LPSC.
We seek someone with organizing and outreach experience who has existing ties to communities and civic organizations in District 5 (which includes Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, DeSoto, East Carroll, Franklin, Jackson, Lincoln, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Ouachita, Red River, Richland, Sabine, Tensas, Union, Webster, West Carroll, and Winn Parishes). This person would need to be confident in working closely with Louisiana’s diverse communities to empower individuals to engage with elected officials in a potentially unfamiliar place. A relevant college degree or equivalent experience is preferred, although not required.
