MAYOR CANTRELL ISSUES STATEMENT ON ELECTION RESULTS

NEW ORLEANS — Mayor LaToya Cantrell today issued the following statement on yesterday’s election results:

 

“Yesterday’s local election results were a great success for the residents of the City of New Orleans," said Mayor LaToya Cantrell.  "We are encouraged by the large voter turnout, especially during early voting, and are grateful for an overall safe and streamlined Election Day across the City. Congratulations to all newly elected and re-elected officials. My office looks forward to working with you to keep moving our City forward. We also must recognize the voters of New Orleans for making your voice heard while continuing to participate in our great democracy. In January, our Home Rule Charter will change. This change will require the New Orleans City Council to approve the appointment of 14 department directors going forward. In my role as Mayor, I will continue to put forth highly qualified candidates for these positions in order to best serve our residents and I look forward to engagement between my administration and the City Council through the appointment process.”
