During my first term, we made big changes to improve residents’ safety, public health, and quality of life. Our many first-term achievements include:
Pandemic Response
- Developing COVID policies that saved lives, moving New Orleans from a hotspot to a national leader in pandemic response
- Spearheading an unprecedented effort to deliver meals to residents in need at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic
City Finances
- Forging the Fair Share Agreement with state leaders to ensure more tax revenue generated in New Orleans stays in New Orleans
- Improving the City's credit rating through prudent management of City finances
- Redistributing the parks millage to provide more funding for City Park and NORD
Public Safety
- Creating the Office of Gun Violence Prevention and the Violent Crime Abatement Investigation Team
- Establishing the Office of Youth and Families
- Passing a tax on short-term rentals and increasing enforcement of STR regulations
Health
- Providing health care services to over 4,000 New Orleans residents
Infrastructure
- Keeping infrastructure projects moving forward across every City Council district in spite of the pandemic
- Securing a $500 million bond to fund infrastructure improvements
In my second term, I will continue to focus on promoting public safety, revitalizing the city’s economy, repairing and modernizing our infrastructure, expanding affordable housing options, and improving residents’ quality of life. I am committed to making New Orleans the best city it can be for all residents.
