Helena Moreno (D) defeated 10 other candidates in thenonpartisan primary for mayor of New Orleans on Oct. 11, 2025. Moreno,Royce Duplessis (D), and Oliver Thomas (D) led in media attention. Incumbent Mayor LaToya Cantrell (D), who was first elected in 2017, was term-limited.
Louisiana elections use themajority-vote system. All candidates compete in the same primary, and a candidate must win more than 50% of the vote to win the election outright. If no candidate received a majority of votes, the top two vote recipients from the primary would have advanced to the general election, regardless of their partisan affiliation. The general election would have taken place on Nov. 15, 2025, but was canceled.
Heading into the election,NOLA.com’s Sophie Kasakove and James Finn wrote that since New Orleans is a predominantly Democratic city in a state with aRepublican trifecta, the three leading candidates "are trying to convince voters they’re best positioned to defend the city's autonomy and traditions, while still working to show they can reach across the aisle to advance the city’s agenda in one of the country’s most conservative states and at a time when federal threats to autonomy and funding loom."[1]
Duplessis was first elected to representDistrict 5 in theLouisiana Senate in a2022 special election. He previously representedDistrict 93 in theLouisiana House of Representatives from 2018 to 2022.
Heading into the election, Duplessis said, "I have a bold vision for where New Orleans needs to go and what it will take to get us there. [...] As a parent, I want my seven-year-old daughter to inherit a city that is safe, prosperous, and equitable. For too long, we have settled for a community that survives from crisis to crisis. Our children deserve a city that thrives."[2]
Moreno was first elected to represent anat-large seat on theNew Orleans City Council in2017. She served as the Council’s president from 2019 to 2023, and then she became its vice president. Moreno previously represented District 93 in the state House from 2010 to 2018.
Heading into the election, Moreno said, "Too many people are leaving New Orleans because our city doesn't work for them. But I'm ready to bring them home and keep you here. Enough of the same old ways. We do not have to settle for this. It's time for change. I have the experience and vision to make sure we have a city that works for everyone."[3]
Thomas was first elected to representDistrict E on the New Orleans City Council in2021. He previously representedDistrict B on the Council from 1994 to 2002 and anat-large seat from 2002 to 2007. Thomas resigned from the Council in 2007 and served 37 months in prison after pleading guilty to a federal bribery charge.[4][5]
Heading into the election, Thomas said, "As a father, former businessman, and lifelong community advocate, I bring a unique combination of lived experience and leadership. I understand how city government should work because I’ve seen it. I know what it means to serve the people, not just in title, but in action, and I’m ready to lead a New Orleans that works for everyone, with no one left behind."[6]

Submitted Biography: "I am Richard "Ricky" Twiggs Jr., an award-winning Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) and a tech entrepreneur with 15 years of business experience, including 7 years as a clinician. I am a native New Orleanian and raised in Algiers (the Westbank of NOLA). As a millenial I have experienced numerous "unprecedented" events and numerous blessings as well. I have been instrumental in bringing 3D printing technology to Louisiana and have dedicated much of my career to expanding access to mental health care. I have helped launch numerous addiction facilities and consulted with outpatient centers in New Orleans to increase care availability.With my background in both business and mental health, I am uniquely positioned to lead New Orleans through the challenges of mental health, education, and economic reform. My campaign is built on four pillars: Mental Health Reform, Crime and Anti-Corruption Reform, Education and Teacher Reform, and Job Creation & Infrastructure Development. I am committed to creating a "new" New Orleans where opportunity, well-being, and growth are accessible to all."
Key Messages

Mental health care in New Orleans is in crisis, and as an award-winning Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S), I understand the urgency of addressing this problem at its root. Mental health reform is not just a component of my platform—it is the heart of my campaign.
For over 150 years, New Orleans has been controlled by the same entrenched political machine. The Democratic Party's grip on the city has resulted in stagnation, inefficiency, and a lack of accountability. It is time for a new era of leadership—one that prioritizes the people over party politics and delivers tangible results for the citizens of New Orleans.
Education is the foundation of a prosperous society, yet New Orleans' public school system has been systematically neglected. The failures of the charter school experiment and the disempowerment of the elected school board have left our children and teachers struggling. I will rebuild New Orleans' education system from the ground up, focusing on restoring public schools, empowering teachers, and ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education.

The Jungle BookThe Emperor's New ClothesStone SoupI carried these around all the time.As a child, I wasn’t sure why, but looking back, they all seem connected to the human element—how we perceive it, how flawed and easily misled we can be, yet also how honest and open we become when encouraged, when we learn to trust others, or when our curiosity is sparked in specific ways. We often develop unfounded fears when faced with groupthink or peer pressure. By approaching situations with openness and without preconceived notions, we can strive to become better individuals and quite often we are.

To effectively lead the city, the mayor's role must center on management excellence. The first step involves meeting with all department heads and their respective management teams to identify the root causes behind any dysfunction or operational disconnects within city government. It is essential to conduct a thoughtful assessment to determine whether challenges stem from internal issues, departmental leadership, or the broader administration.
Only after understanding the true nature of these problems can solutions be crafted intelligently. This process ensures that the right individuals are in place, occupying leadership roles that drive successful and efficient operations throughout city departments.Richard Twiggs Jr. (Unaffiliated)

Integrity is key to rebuilding that trust. I would establish independent oversight to address misconduct and enhance transparency through regular reporting on police activities. Open communication between law enforcement and the community is essential, as is reforming internal disciplinary processes to ensure fairness.
Compassion is central to my vision. Too often, police are tasked with handling mental health crises without proper resources. I will integrate mental health professionals into law enforcement response teams and expand training to ensure officers approach mental health situations with care and expertise.
Reform is needed to balance support for law enforcement with accountability. Officers deserve the tools to succeed and an environment that is free from internal corruption / politics. They must also be aware that they will face consequences for misconduct. I will promote community policing, diversify the police force, and implement alternatives to policing in non-violent situations like mental health crises and unhoused/homelessness.
Ultimately, the ideal relationship between the mayor’s office and law enforcement is one of partnership, where police are not just enforcers, but community builders. By fostering collaboration, accountability, and compassion, we can create a safer, fairer New Orleans for all.Richard Twiggs Jr. (Unaffiliated)
