Was convicted for taking bribes while in office. Once out he ran for city council a few years later and of course won.

He would be a perfect fit.

Oh. So convicted of an actual crime
And not made up ones.

Well, can't be less of a criminal than the current mayor

Sounds like he is more than qualified for the position.

He can run, but he won’t win.

Helena has to be a massive favorite at this point.

Yea Helena has been making her rounds to the prominent black social groups. They seem to be backing her.

The Stupid will likely give everyone yet another reminder that they can vote.

....As if everyone else needed one.

Trump is also a convicted felon, so this wouldn't be that big of a deal

He'll probably win in a landslide.

Seems like a great option, probably made an honest mistake and is looking for a way to regain the trust of the great city of NOLA. I cannot wait to see the growth of this individual through his campaign.

No one on the do-nothing City Council should be considered for Mayor

If we're running criminals at least bring back Ray Ray.

With Thomas running there will be a good turnout from Lakeview and Uptown for Helena.
