All New Orleans City Council seats are up for election this fall. This forum is your chance to hear directly from the candidates about their plans for your light bill — from how they plan to lower your Entergy bill to what they’ll do to prevent future power outages and support a cleaner, more resilient power grid for our city.
Date: Wednesday, September 24 from 6-8pm CT
Location: Christ Church Cathedral, 2919 St Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115
The event is free and open to everyone, and we’ll have delicious food and drinks. We’d love to know if you’re coming, please RSVP below. But if you decide to join us last minute, no worries—just show up!
The primary election is on October 11 and early voting runs from September 27 to October 4 (excluding Sunday, Sept. 28). If any candidate receives more than 50% of the vote on October 11 they will be elected outright. If not, the race heads to a November 15 runoff between the top two candidates. The deadline to register to vote in the runoff is Oct. 15 if registering in person or by mail, or Oct. 25 if registering online.
At the forum, candidates addressed some of the biggest questions facing our city, including how the Council can regulate Entergy New Orleans and Delta Utilities to keep bills affordable and lights on, what it will take to improve our grid to better withstand storms and extreme weather, how the Council can ensure transparency and accountability, and more.
