OVERVIEW
This report is the latest installment in BGR’s Candidate Q&A Election Series. The new report consolidates and reissues the responses of the newly elected City of New Orleans mayor and councilmembers who completed BGR’s surveys last fall on important issues facing City government.
We encourage citizens to revisit the issues by reviewing the BGR research and the elected officials’ responses presented in the report. For convenience, issue-specific excerpts of the report are presented below. Where the officials express positions that clearly affirm or align with BGR’s recommendations, we strongly urge them to identify – and take action on – the steps necessary to achieve those goals.
