Congressman Garret Graves talks business, the economy, politics and more on the next episode of Strictly Business

    Congressman Garret Graves

    What economic opportunities are on the horizon for Louisiana? How will the state’s role in national and global energy production change over the next several decades? And what national policy reforms are needed to help small businesses?

    Departing Republican Congressman Garret Graves will share those insights and more—including key lessons learned—in the December episode of Strictly Business.

    Graves has represented Louisiana’s 6th congressional district since 2015. The Baton Rouge native currently serves on the powerful U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee.

    After redistricting dismantled his district, he declined to run for re-election in 2024. Prior to that, Graves chaired the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, where he negotiated on behalf of the state with British Petroleum over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

    Providing you and your team with the insights, advice and inspiration to thrive in a perpetually changing “new normal” is the driving force behind Business Report’s Strictly Business, a free, monthly webcast featuring in-depth interviews with Louisiana’s most successful CEOs and entrepreneurs.

    Episodes airing on the third Wednesday of each month will be hosted by Business Report Executive Editor Penny Font, who will interview successful leaders as they not only share their professional stories but also offer advice to help others grow and improve their business.
