Policy Over Politics with STAR
Representative Royce Duplessis
In our third episode of Policy Over Politics with STAR, I interviewed Representative Royce Duplessis from New Orleans, Louisiana.
Representative Duplessis serves District 93 in the Louisiana House of Representatives. Elected to the seat in a special election in 2018, Representative Duplessis is currently in his second term.
In our interview, we discuss how Representative Duplessis has a perfect record with STAR in each of our legislative scorecards from the past three years:
We also discuss his passionate floor speech during the 2021 Veto Session where he asked the Louisiana House of Representatives to sustain the Governor’s Veto of SB 156, which would prohibit transgender girls from participating on girl’s sports teams.
