Louisiana Senator Sharon Hewitt
Keynoye Speaker
In 2018, just two short years after she was first elected to the Louisiana Senate, Sharon was named “National Legislator of the Year” by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). In 2021, Sharon led the national Republican Legislative Campaign Committee and raised record-breaking funds to support state legislators across the country in their 2021 and 2022 campaigns. Sharon serves as Senate Chair of Republican Legislative Delegation and is the current Chairwoman of the Senate and Government Affairs Committee.
She earned a mechanical engineering degree from Louisiana State University and went on to become one of the first female executives in a major oil and gas company. She eventually took charge of Shell’s central deepwater assets situated in the Gulf of Mexico, a division of more than 160 employees with a budget in excess of a quarter of a billion dollars a year. In that position, she oversaw roughly 10% of the oil production in the United States and was trusted with managing billions of dollars in assets.
