As someone who’s 27 years old and openly LGBTQ, my future in Louisiana is threatened by climate change, skyrocketing home insurance, and Governoer Jeff Landry’s hateful policies.

I’m running for Congress because we need a fighter for our future in Washington.

Meet Devin Davis

I’m a lifelong New Orleanian, raised on the West Bank, with deep family roots in St. John Parish.

I’ve been organizing for reproductive rights, racial justice, voting rights, and housing justice since I was 14, and I’ve spent my life fighting to free our communities from the prison industrial complex.

Growing up, I saw the devastating impact of the petrochemical industry on our community.

My grandfather worked at the Shell Oil refinery in Norco for 25 years before being diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. His story is one of many in our community—hardworking families suffering because of corporate greed and elected officials who look the other way.

But that’s not the whole story of where we come from. I also have incredible memories of growing up here—like Mardi Gras with my family. During Mardi Gras, my cousins and I would fill my parents’ restaurant on St. Charles with mattresses to camp out for the parades, and then catch beads all day.

New Orleans has always felt like the greatest city in the world to me, and I want my kids to feel that way too.

We deserve better, but we have to fight for it.

That’s what our ancestors did to end slavery and segregation. That’s what I and many others did to end Jim Crow juries in Louisiana.

That’s why I’m running for Congress.

Our home is called ‘cancer alley,’ but I believe it can be the greatest place in the world. We won’t get there through politics as usual. That’s why we’re building a movement across this district—young people, immigrants, working-class folks—who want a better future.

I invite you to join us. Together, we can take this fight for our future to Washington, D.C.
