The next New Orleans mayoral election is scheduled for 2025. As it’s still relatively early, the field of candidates is not yet solidified, and official platforms haven’t been fully developed or announced.

It’s difficult to predict the “main 3 candidates” at this stage or their specific goals. However, based on ongoing city challenges and typical mayoral campaign themes, potential candidates are likely to focus on:

• Public Safety/Crime Reduction: This remains a dominant concern for residents.

• Infrastructure: Addressing ongoing issues with streets, drainage, and utilities will likely be a key platform.

• Economic Development/Jobs: Post-pandemic recovery, attracting businesses, and supporting local employment will be important.

• Affordable Housing: A growing issue in many cities, including New Orleans.

• Government Transparency and Efficiency: A common theme in local politics.
