Here’s my heart, New Orleans.

From porch conversations to church basements, from Lakeview to the East, I’ve listened, because listening fuels leadership. I’ve heard parents fighting for safer streets, small businesses hungry to grow, seniors asking City Hall to finally work, and young people ready for opportunity. That’s the city I’m running to lead: one where every neighbor has a seat at the table, services are reliable, jobs are growing, and we invest in every neighborhood, not just a few.

Through it all, my family has been by my side, holding my hand, keeping me grounded, and reminding me who I serve. Their love is my compass; your trust is my responsibility.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 11, we choose the kind of city we’re going to be. If you believe New Orleans can be safer, cleaner, more honest, and more united, if you believe we can build a city that works for everyone, then I’m asking for your vote.

Bring a friend. Call a neighbor. Let’s turn our prayers into plans and our promises into progress.

Vote Oliver Thomas for Mayor and let’s build this, together.

At a time when division and binary choices cloud so much of our lives, I was grateful for the opportunity to speak to unity. Our city’s future depends on ALL of us: every neighborhood, every voice, every New Orleanian working together.

As Mayor, I’ll make sure we build a city that works for everyone, where everyone has a seat at the table because they helped build it.

The kids at Eisenhower Elementary have it right! I want to be Mayor not for me, but for us, for New Orleans!

Join these smart kids and vote for OT this Saturday, October 11!

[Oliver Thomas @otforus]

Today, the New Orleans City Council passed my ordinance establishing the city’s policy governing the release of photographs and video footage from crime and accident scenes involving death and serious bodily injury. The ordinance provides privacy protections for victims and their families while ensuring that law enforcement and judicial processes are not hindered.

This is about respect. Our goal is to protect victims and families from unnecessary harm while maintaining transparency where it truly serves justice.

I remain committed to improved processes in all of New Orleans city government.

Vote this Saturday, October 11, from 7 am - 8 am.

[Oliver Thomas @otforus]

The wisest investment we can make is in our children!

Vote this Saturday, October 11. Polls are open 7 am until 8 pm.

As your next Mayor, I'll bring thousands of jobs, more redevelopment, and real investment to every corner of New Orleans. From revitalizing long-neglected corridors to attracting new industries and improving infrastructure, we will build up our city!

[Oliver Thomas @otforus]

Building a city that works for everyone requires revitalization in every neighborhood and delivering city services effectively and efficiently. I've got the experience and vision to make it happen!

[Oliver Thomas @otforus]

As your next Mayor, I'll make New Orleans more affordable and with more opportunity, building a city that works for everyone!

[Oliver Thomas @otforus]

Algiers is New Orleans. Lakeview is New Orleans. New Orleans East is New Orleans.

I'm shining the light on every corner of New Orleans, because it's all New Orleans!

There'll be no neighborhood left behind in an Oliver Thomas Administration, with resources, beautification, and investment in every community, no matter which side of the bridge or highway you're on.

[Oliver Thomas @otforus]

If someone is digging up your street, you should be able to easily tell which department it is and a clear timeline for completion.

That's why I propose creating a citywide infographic system with icons and color coding to make city services easier to understand for everyone as part of my vision.

Federal and state leaders need to improve coordination with the leaders of New Orleans before investing in big-money, long-term projects that will disturb our natural environment and our living conditions.

Thank you to the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law & Policy and the many community organizations for hosting a forum on the water that surrounds us, infrastructure projects, and other critical concerns.
