Meet Royce Duplessis
Royce was raised in a home that fostered concern for others and the belief that everyone deserves fair treatment and the opportunity to succeed in life. One of Royce’s first examples was his father, who served children with disabilities as an Adapted Physical Education Teacher for the Orleans Parish School System. Royce also inherited an entrepreneurial spirit from his grandparents, who owned and operated a small corner grocery store during the 1950s-70s. He attended St. Augustine High School. Royce worked summers in high school as a bricklayer’s assistant, and he supported himself by earning tips working as a busboy at Mandina’s Restaurant while attending Xavier University.
I’m ready to have the tough conversations and
work with all of New Orleans to do BIG things.
- Senator Royce Duplessis
We are at a critical point in history, and I believe that it’s time to stop talking and immediately do what’s necessary for people to thrive.
We must take action on the most significant issues impacting Louisianans like increasing public safety, investing in streets and drainage, expanding access to quality education, building an economy where companies are excited to invest in jobs for our community, protecting reproductive rights, advocating for vulnerable LGBTQ+ youth, and so much more.
- Senator Royce Duplessis
When I’m Mayor, my leadership will mean:
Putting families first
with 40,000 new affordable homes and helping 30,000 homeowners stay in theirs.
Growing opportunity
by supporting small businesses and making our port the leading Port of America again.
Keeping people safe
with prevention, accountability, and tackling root causes of crime.
Getting the basics right
trash pickup, streetlights, roads, parks—for every neighborhood.
