Garret Neal Graves (born January 31, 1972) is an American politician who served as the United States representative for Louisiana's 6th congressional district from 2015 to 2025.

[8] In 2008, Governor Bobby Jindal appointed Graves to chair the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.

[9] As chair, he negotiated on behalf of the state with British Petroleum over the Deepwater Horizon oil spill until resigning on February 17, 2014.

[11] In the nonpartisan blanket primary held in conjunction with the national elections on November 6, 2018, Graves handily won his third term in the U.S. House, having led a four-candidate field with 186,524 votes (69%).

[12] In November 2023, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Robinson v. Ardoin that Louisiana must redistrict its electoral maps due to gerrymandering, which has unfairly diluted the representation of the state's African American population.

In Robinson v. Callais, which has been appealed to the US Supreme Court, civil rights groups have alleged that the Louisiana State Legislature's proposed maps were still gerrymandered with electoral districts redrawn to unseat Graves, who is a political rival of incumbent Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry.

"[14] Edwards attributed the delay in disbursement of the funds, which began on April 10, to the state's financial shortfall, which prevented the quick retaining of a disaster management firm.

[18] As a "parting gift" to the 118th Congress, Graves united with also-retiring Abigail Spanberger to complete a discharge petition to force through a Social Security bill, a move that antagonized the Conference leadership.
