Dear Friends, real quick — LaToya and her team have been working so hard around the clock to keep our city safe that they didn't even realize that April is coming to an end... and the end of the month means another campaign finance deadline.

If you're able to at this time, please consider making a contribution to help our Mayor continue the critical work she's doing.

We know that politics isn't top of mind right now — but if this pandemic has shown us anything, it's that our work has never been more important. Electing (and re-electing!) the right people to lead us through difficult times like these makes a huge difference in how we get through those times.

Mayor Cantrell is stepping up for you. Can you click here and step up for her?

Thank you and stay safe,
All of us at the Cantrell Campaign

P.S. — Deadline is at Midnight tonight! Give now, we really appreciate it.

Dear Friends,

In case you missed it — our Mayor recently had a conversation with The Washington Post's Robert Costa, a national political reporter who is covering government response efforts to COVID-19.

As part of his "Leadership During Crisis" series about the response to the pandemic nationwide, LaToya gave a lot of interesting insight on many things New Orleans is doing to battle this pandemic:

"From the beginning, we've acted swiftly — not only ending large gatherings but even putting in our stay-at-home mandate. We ramped up testing very quickly and were able to stand up the pilot program that the federal government created in a matter of three days. We tested hundreds of our people. And with our top-notch healthcare leaders and partners throughout the city, we have been testing at a rate faster than the federal government. We have moved into mobile testing at hotspots that we identified in our city, five different areas. One of these areas last week tested over 884 people."
"Based on the data that we look at daily, it is safe to say that we are flattening the curve and have made tremendous progress — in fact, this past Monday, we saw the first day in over a month with no coronavirus-related deaths."
"As for reopening businesses and public spaces, we will be putting together a reopening committee. We will be working with industry leaders to come up with the best protocols, processes, and guidelines that are of course aligned with that of the state and federal government."

Watch segments of LaToya's Washington Post interview below and read the transcript here:

LaToya's most important takeaway from all this positive news was this — right now, we want to keep people focused on staying at home, continuing to flatten this curve, and preventing future deaths from happening in our city. We're going to get there, no doubt, if we continue on this path.

New Orleans, we are so proud of our Mayor and the amazing efforts she's leading to get our city back on track. Thank you for supporting her and standing with her!

Sincerely,
Team LaToya
