It's the moment I've been waiting for! After all, I got in this race to inject climate issues into the public discourse, and there is no more influential publication locally than The Times-Picayune | Advocate. Without further ado, here it is at last, excerpted from a story that profiled all four of us in the race for New Orleans City Council At-Large.

Oct. 3, 2021

Everson, 48, got into the race to offer solutions for what he said is New Orleans' biggest problem: its fragile climate. 

"No one else is talking about this," Everson said. "And everything that we love about this world is at risk." 

Hurricanes will likely increase in frequency and intensity in the coming years, further damaging city infrastructure and raising housing costs.

To help, Everson wants to force Entergy and the Regional Transit Authority to use cleaner energy. Public buses should also run every 15 minutes to help convince people to drive their cars less frequently, he said.

The city should pay a base wage to every resident and provide reparations to the descendants of slaves, moves Everson said would reduce poverty and right old wrongs.

He also backs the full legalization of marijuana and other illegal drugs.
