My statement on President Trump’s suggestion that federalized troops be deployed to New Orleans:

Today, we're releasing our vision for a more prosperous New Orleans. I know that for the City to attract & retain high-paying jobs, the next Mayor must take a leadership role to create & promote a positive business environment – & that starts with getting the basics right.

Your efforts in mobilizing community support and advocating for change is vital and we must not ease up, because just like we saw last weekend for the ballot measures, when we come together and fight, we win! More: www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

Decisions being made in DC are having major implications right here at home. I know I sound like a broken record about this, but we have to push back and let everyone know the impacts. Thx to @stepuplouisiana.bsky.social @indivisible.org + so many other groups who organized the NOLA #HandsOff rally

We all know, now more than ever, our city needs a 24/7 leader. That’s why I’m running for mayor to lead us in a new direction - I know the job is about the work, not the perks.

Very proud to annouce Renée Lapeyrolerie will lead our team as campaign manager to deliver our message about a more functional, more affordable New Orleans for everyone. Her experience and deep roots in our community are unmatched, and I know she will be a strong asset to our movement for change. 🚀

Tomorrow morning we’ll be launching my campaign to move New Orleans in a new direction!

I am grateful for the overwhelming support and encouragement you’ve given me. You helped me make this decision.

More to come in the morning!💪
