Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Craig Greene Issues Statement on His Decision Not to Seek Reelection

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Baton Rouge, LA — Louisiana Public Service Commissioner Craig Greene issued the following statement on his decision not to seek reelection:

“When you know, you know. For almost a decade, I’ve worked hard to keep a watchful eye on our utility providers, holding them accountable to keep prices affordable for the many families in our community struggling to get by. I’ve had the chance to meet great people, help those in need, and engage in compelling debates that will have generational impact.

Years ago, my dad taught me the importance of citizen representation in our system of government. He believed so strongly in citizen representation as he served in the State Senate for 8 years then voluntarily stepped aside, choosing to not run for reelection.

When I finish my current term on the PSC come January, I will have also served 8 years. It seems fitting to me to take a lesson from my dad and step aside to let someone else give it a go.

With that in mind, I will serve out my term on the PSC, but I will not run for reelection.

I look forward to spending more time doing what I love most, enjoying my family, and caring for my patients.

Louisiana is full of great, loving people, and I am confident they will find a great Commissioner to serve as the next in line to take a turn.

Serving the people of Louisiana on the Public Service Commission has been a tremendous honor; thank you!”

28 years and still going strong! Happy Anniversary, Lady K! Here’s to countless more ahead
