Helena Moreno Elected as Next Mayor of New Orleans
Helena Moreno has been elected the next mayor of New Orleans, becoming the first Hispanic mayor of the city.
Moreno, currently the city council's vice president, secured 55% of the vote in the municipal primary, avoiding a runoff with her top competitors.
- Results showed Moreno outdistancing her top rivals:
- Louisiana state Sen. Royce Duplessis with 22% of the vote
- City Councilman Oliver Thomas with 19% of the vote
- Republican Frank Janusa with 2% of the vote
Moreno, 48, will be sworn in as the city's second woman mayor in January, replacing term-limited LaToya Cantrell.
LaToya Cantrell will leave office under the cloud of a federal indictment charging her with wire fraud, conspiracy, and lying to a federal grand jury.
Moreno was born in Mexico and raised in Houston, where her family moved when she was 8 years old.
