  • Summary

  • Tammy Phelps is a Louisiana State Representative from Shreveport, joining us to discuss Louisiana's ongoing population decline. We dive into the key factors driving people, especially Millennials and Gen Z, to leave the state, including job market challenges, lack of investment in education, and state policies that don't adequately address these issues. Tammy shares her perspective on how Louisiana can reverse this trend by focusing on improving education, workforce development, and economic opportunities.


    We also touch on how local and state governments can better collaborate to drive growth, with examples from Tammy’s district. From Shreveport's struggle with economic identity to statewide concerns about minimum wage and infrastructure, this conversation is a candid look at what needs to change for Louisiana to thrive.
