New Orleans stands at a pivotal moment in its history. Our city continues to wrestle with persistent challenges, including public safety, affordable housing, economic inequality, infrastructure needs, and the demand for trustworthy, transparent leadership. The decision voters make this fall will shape the direction of New Orleans for decades to come.
While this election has attracted several strong candidates, after much deliberation, Data News Weekly “The People’s Paper” is proudly endorsing Helena Moreno for Mayor. We believe she best embodies the combination of competence, compassion, and vision that New Orleans needs to move forward.
A Proven Bridge Builder Throughout her political career as a State Representative and now as a leader on the City Council, Helena Moreno has consistently demonstrated her ability to build bridges across communities and provide effective leadership. She listens deeply, values collaboration, and has worked with people across neighborhoods, racial and ethnic backgrounds, and economic divides. Moreno’s leadership transcends partisanship and division, uniting residents under a shared vision of progress.
Competence with Compassion
What sets Moreno apart is not only her political experience but also her empathy, compassion, and responsiveness to the needs of everyday citizens. She has been a champion for affordable housing, criminal justice reform, and greater accountability in city government. Time and again, she has shown her commitment to solutions that improve the lives of all New Orleanians. This is evident in the diverse support she has received since entering the mayoral race.
Leadership Rooted in Solutions
Helena Moreno is a leader who combines competence with a bold, inclusive vision. She offers practical, results-driven policies backed by research, innovation, and collaboration. While others may shy away from difficult conversations or offer only rhetoric, Moreno faces challenges head-on, guided by a commitment to equity and justice for every citizen. Moreover, her leadership style reflects integrity, honesty, and a deep respect for the voices of all New Orleanians.
A New Positive Direction for New Orleans
Indeed, our city is rich in culture, history, and resilience, yet it has often been underserved by leaders unable to maximize its unlimited potential. Moreno offers a fresh and positive path forward. She represents the next generation of leadership, pragmatic, innovative, and inclusive. From Uptown to Gentilly, from Algiers to the Lower Ninth Ward, from Mid-City to Lakeview, she envisions a city where every community has a stake in growth and prosperity. Helena has already fought for this in her various political roles, but as Mayor, she can do even more.
The Leader New Orleans Needs
In these crucial times, the citizens of New Orleans deserve a mayor who is visionary yet grounded, bold yet compassionate, strong yet collaborative. Helena Moreno embodies all of these qualities. She has earned our confidence, our trust, and our endorsement.
Our Endorsement
Data News Weekly urges the citizens of New Orleans to elect Helena Moreno as the next Mayor. Under her leadership, New Orleans can take bold steps toward equity, opportunity, safety, and shared prosperity. With Helena Moreno at the helm, our city will be equipped to embrace a brighter future for all.
