Climate & Energy

He emphasizes local control over energy-related projects and ran for Congress motivated in part by opposition to CCS in his parish.
News
Mike Nichols is in the news because Louisiana’s House elections have been delayed amid a redistricting fight, creating uncertainty for candidates and voters. Lawmakers have also advanced a new congressional map that would favor Republicans 5-1 and eliminate one majority-Black Democratic-leaning district. The map still needs more legislative approval, so the final district lines are not settled yet.
