LA RISING
2026 Legislative Initiatives
A focused agenda to strengthen families, expand opportunity,
and keep Louisiana competitive.
1. FUND School Choice
Louisiana’s LA GATOR Education Savings Account (ESA) program expands options by allowing parents to direct education funding to the setting that best fits their child. Demand has been strong — over 40,000 families applied — but funding currently supports only about 6,000 students, leaving many families without access.
School choice is also a workforce issue: flexible learning models and specialized pathways can prepare students for in-demand careers and strengthen Louisiana’s long-term growth.
2. Energy Abundance
Louisiana is one of the world’s most important energy hubs. To stay competitive and meet rising global demand, Louisiana needs a pro-development environment that encourages investment, job growth, and innovation.
3. Open Energy markets
Louisiana families and businesses deserve affordable, reliable electricity. Opening the market to competition can help lower costs, improve reliability, and accelerate innovation—while ensuring consumers, not monopolies, drive results.
4. Healthcare reform
Louisiana families deserve healthcare that is transparent, affordable, and accessible — especially in rural and under-served communities AFP–Louisiana supports practical reforms that put patients in control, expand access to primary care, and drive down costs through competition.
5. Smaller government & A stronger economy
Louisiana has started moving toward a simpler, more competitive tax environment. Building on that progress means continuing to lower taxes, cut waste, reduce red tape, and focus government on results.
