Was that Charbonnet person honestly so bad that NOLA took an import from California over her for mayor? For a place so parochial that your high school is still an important symbol of status well into adulthood, how did an outsider pull off the win in the first place?

Yes.
Maybe not Desriée herself, but it has been said here before, that the uptown money that backed Latoya da Destroya, wanted no part of Desirée Charbonnet's brother Bunny being the power behind the throne. He is reputed to be so crooked that they will screw him in the ground when he dies.

His hands would have been in EVERY pie in the city, worse than Latoya, so the conventional wisdom states.

He was a known commodity, Latoya, in her days on the council seemed to be someone more pragmatic. Plus with her tax issues and her corruption in using her city-issued credit card for personal gain, it was assumed that these could be used to keep her in check.

That and the Hard Rock disaster, including the intentional malfesance of the building inspector's office would have kept most politicians humble.

I pray the poster who states that there is a viable candidate is correct. The incumbency is a powerful factor. The poster who talked about the Reverends was accurate too. That's how New Orleans Democrat machine politics work. They BUS voters to the polls every single election, and Reverend tells them who to vote for.

I would guess she is getting George Soros money, as well.

I don’t remember this. Can someone post a picture of Charbonnet?

Sidney Torres ran ads against Charbonnet because of a personal vendetta against her. He also donated heavily to LaToya to help her beat Charbonnet.
