New Orleans City Council candidate responds after backlash for $40K campaign payments

State Rep. Delisha Boyd mounted a defense Friday following news reports of the New Orleans City Council candidate’s financial struggles and allegations that she paid a firm she owned with her daughter for campaign work. Boyd has retained Gray Sexton, a longtime attorney for the Louisiana Board of Ethics, to review her campaign finances. Sexton will “review all campaign finance filings and provide any needed guidance going forward in order to ensure that her campaign is operating within both the spirit and the letter of the law,” Boyd’s campaign said in a prepared statement Friday.

The statement followed reports by The Times-Picayune and Gambit this week on Boyd’s campaign and personal finances. The Times-Picayune detailed how, according to state records, Boyd’s campaign and a political action committee backing her paid more than $39,000 for campaign-related work to the firm she owns with her daughter, then reported the expenditures under a nonexistent company name. The payments flowed to the Boyds’ firm as Delisha Boyd faces foreclosure on her English Turn home, according to court filings.
this is rich...

Boyd’s campaign also sought to paint her personal financial struggles as aspects of her background that connect her to the struggles of many New Orleanians. “Representative Boyd has made it very clear she is not immune to the same challenges that everyday families face,” her campaign said Friday. “In fact, these painful experiences have given her a unique perspective — because she knows what it means to fall, to get back up, and to keep pushing forward. That’s the spirit of New Orleans, and it’s the spirit that will be with her every single day on the council.”
to steal campaign funds for personal use. not one of these motherfrickers has a ounce of shame

It’s baffling that these politicians think they won’t be caught with all of the watch dog groups. But i suppose until they start getting in trouble nothing will change.

Isn't hiring relatives as paid campaign staff a standard grift?
Shouldn't be, of course.

Well…. Did she avoid foreclosure, or did she spend that money on cars, clothes, and trips?

Clerk of Court race is even better
It was a good commercial, with pics of the city dump. Curious where he go the money to produce & run it.

The race for New Orleans' criminal clerkship got fiery this week when the incumbent, Darren Lombard, suggested in a televised debate that an opponent misled voters about his exoneration on murder charges after decades of imprisonment.
The challenger, Calvin Duncan, was fully cleared by a judge in August of 2021 after serving more than 20 years at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola for a murder he did not commit, according to court records, Duncan's campaign, a memoir he recently published and a national registry of exonerated individuals.
Sentenced to life imprisonment in 1982, Duncan remained in Angola until 2011, when the Innocence Project of New Orleans helped secure his parole stemming from a plea deal on a lesser charge. His full exoneration came a decade later.
In an episode of WDSU-TV's "Hot Seat" aired this week, though, Lombard tried to cast doubt on Duncan's exoneration.

No different than what Maxine waters has done for years with her daughter. Democrats are absolute scum.

Well sure. Plenty of regular NOLA residents have faced the dilemma of how to hide $40k, and keep their English Turn houses.

Amazing campaign strategy. "Hey you bunch of broke arse dummies, I am also terrible with money and refuse to take responsibility for my actions; therefore, I should be in charge."
