NEW ORLEANS, LA – Devin Davis, a progressive candidate running for Congress in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District, will hold a press conference on the anniversaries of Hurricanes Katrina and Ida to announce “Insuring Our Future: A Plan to Solve Our Home Insurance Crisis.”
This comprehensive policy proposal aims to address Louisiana’s home insurance crisis, which has severely escalated since Hurricane Ida. Homeownership is now unaffordable for many residents and a significant portion of homeowners are uninsured. Through a federal reinsurance program, funding for risk reduction, and a federal public insurance program, this policy proposal aims to ensure South Louisiana’s future.
What: Press conference to unveil ‘Insuring Our Future: A Plan to Solve Our Home Insurance Crisis’

Where: Hurricane Katrina Memorial, 5056 Canal Street, New Orleans, LA 70119

The home insurance crisis in Louisiana threatens the stability of our communities and the future of our state. As climate change continues to drive more frequent and costly natural disasters, a bold federal response is necessary to ensure that all Louisianans have access to affordable and reliable home insurance.
Devin Davis will discuss how the proposed plan will not only lower premiums and regulate insurance companies in the short term but also pave the way for the necessary transformation of the property insurance industry to ensure our future.
Devin Davis’ opponent, Troy Carter, has received $87,800 in contributions from the insurance industry and failed to support Representative Adam Schiff’s INSURE Act, which would create a federal catastrophe reinsurance program.
Davis is running a grassroots, people-powered campaign to fight for Louisiana’s future, not corporate profits. If elected, Davis would be the youngest member of Congress and the first openly LGBTQ member of Congress ever elected from the South. Davis’ platform focuses on bringing the home insurance crisis under control by holding insurance companies accountable and creating a federal public insurance option, protecting South Louisiana from the climate crisis by kicking out the petrochemical industry and transitioning our economy to wind and solar farms, as well as funding reparations for Cancer Alley communities, and championing campaign finance reform that prevents corporations from flooding Louisiana elections with money and hijacking the political process.
