MAKING CITY HALL WORK FOR EVERYONE
New Orleanians don’t trust city government to work for them — and for good reason.
Waste, inefficiency, and lack of accountability have left too many residents frustrated and underserved. That changes now!
I will make transparency, efficiency, and customer service the foundation of City Hall, ensuring every department works for the people—not against them.
How we'll get it done:
Making Government Accessible & Responsive
- Launch a citywide 311 Tracking System so every complaint gets a follow-up, status update, and timeline for resolution.
- Create satellite City Hall locations for accessibility so residents have access to do city business.
- Determine location for the permanent NOPD headquarters & City Hall.
- Get city workers out of their offices and into the community, increasing face-to-face engagement to solve problems where they happen.
Holding Government Accountable
- Implement public performance reviews for department heads and city contractors, with clear, measurable benchmarks for success.
- Reform property tax assessments to ensure fairness for homeowners and prevent predatory increases.
- Implement a three-year financial forecast to ensure responsible budgeting and more frequent assessments for better fiscal planning.
Eliminating Waste & Strengthening Ethics
- Establish a Mayor’s Office of Ethics and Government Integrity to prevent waste and misuse of city funds.
- Implement an independent audit to investigate inefficiencies and waste in city government.
Giving Power Back to the People
- Create a Mayor’s Office on People's Empowerment to increase public input on major policies, budget decisions, and community investments.
- Fortify and frequently update our citywide neighborhood association list to help residents organize and advocate for their communities effectively.
