Mandate Moreno: Money, Momentum & a New Chapter for New Orleans

Jeff Crouere, host of Ringside Politics, joins the show to unpack Helena Moreno’s sweeping mayoral victory. From her media roots to her strategic coalition-building, Moreno’s campaign was a masterclass in front-runner finesse. With overwhelming support from both business and political circles—and even Republican voters—she avoided a runoff and secured a strong mandate. The conversation explores voter turnout, racial dynamics, and the implications of electing another non-native New Orleanian. Plus, we dive into the sheriff’s race shake-up and what Moreno’s leadership could mean for a city hungry for competence, reform, and a fresh start.
