In 2023, Dustin ran for Louisiana State Treasurer, earning more votes than any other Democrat in a statewide race that year. Since then, he has remained deeply involved in party leadership and organizing. He was elected to the Democratic State Central Committee in District 35B and, in April 2024, became Treasurer of the Louisiana Democratic Party. He also serves on the Calcasieu Parish Democratic Executive Committee, where he’s helped relaunch local fundraising efforts to support get-out-the-vote (GOTV) initiatives.

Dustin represented Louisiana as a delegate to the 2024 Democratic National Convention and is a frequent commentator on KPLC News, where he speaks out on political accountability, economic fairness, and the need for progressive policy solutions. He also uses social media and grassroots messaging to advocate for a revitalized Louisiana—one that prioritizes working families, sustainable growth, and systemic reform.
