"We are grateful that the truth has finally come out, that the effort to recall Mayor LaToya Cantrell never had enough signatures," said Cantrell campaign manager Maggie Carroll. "Our concern remains: voting rights continue to be threatened, as we saw with the backroom deal to disenfranchise thousands of New Orleans voters in order to move the goalposts at the behest of an almost singular Republican donor. The recall campaign has been divisive, dishonest, and opaque to say the least."
Carroll said the mayor's campaign never spent any money to stop the recall process.
Carroll's statement concluded by calling for unity: "It’s time for New Orleanians to better our city in the way we do best - by coming together."
