New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was formally arraigned in federal court on corruption charges Wednesday — a case that has deepened long-standing tensions between her administration and the City Council.

With just one month until New Orleans elects her successor, and less than a week until the WWL Louisiana Mayoral Debate, the top candidates are weighing in on how they would repair the strained relationship between City Hall and the council.

In this video:
-Councilmembers Helena Moreno and Oliver Thomas discuss how they would build collaboration if elected mayor.
-Senator Royce Duplessis, while not on council, has said cooperation with council is essential to progress.
-WWL political analyst Clancy DuBos explains why the mayor-council relationship is so critical for New Orleans’ future — and why dysfunction at City Hall is top of mind for voters.

Key context:
-Mayor Cantrell’s administration and the council have clashed over travel, spending, and executive appointments.
-Judges have stepped in, vetoes have been overridden, and cooperation has broken down.
-With Cantrell’s arraignment, the stakes for the next mayor could not be clearer: voters want a leader who can “make the city function again.”

🗓️ Upcoming Event:
The WWL Louisiana Mayoral Debate airs Tuesday, September 16
-Pre-debate coverage: 6:30 p.m.
-Live debate: 7–8 p.m.
-Watch on WWL Louisiana and WWL+
