## Caption

State Senator Royce Duplessis is one of the top three candidates in the 2025 New Orleans mayoral race — but unlike the others, he has never served on the City Council.

Background: Raised in the Pontchartrain Park neighborhood with three brothers, Duplessis graduated from St. Augustine High School, Xavier University, and earned his law degree from Howard University.

Career start: Entered politics after Hurricane Katrina as chief of staff to a city councilman.

Legislative record: Elected to the Louisiana House in 2018 and the State Senate in 2022, Duplessis has passed more than 70 pieces of legislation.

Policy focus: Reinvestment in NoRD and youth programs, addressing violence, and creating equity and opportunity for all residents.

Philosophy: Duplessis says his experience working with people he disagrees with — to find solutions and put residents first — proves he can lead the city.

📊 WWL Louisiana poll (August 2025):

Helena Moreno — 47%
Royce Duplessis — 18%
Oliver Thomas — 16%
