About

Former State Representative Julie Stokes gained traction early in the business community as a CPA, a small business owner, and a leader within many organizations, such as the Jefferson Chamber, the LCPA, the YLC, the Regional Transit Authority, the University of New Orleans and various civic and economic development entities.  Over her seven years of service in the Louisiana Legislature, Julie Stokes gained a strong reputation as non-partisan policy advocate and a cancer survivor.  Mrs. Stokes gained significant experience with the Louisiana budget, comparative state tax policy, oversight of legislative audit, Louisiana’s economic development incentives, and Louisiana’s Department of Health policies.  After receiving numerous accolades for her work in the Legislature and then leaving public life behind in 2020, Mrs. Stokes has opened Flame Consulting to continue supporting projects that she is passionate about, like cancer advocacy and helping worthy causes and organizations with fundraising, strategic planning and consulting.
