Arthur Hunter is dropping out of the New Orleans mayor's race.

The retired judge is throwing his support behind state senator Royce Duplessis.

A recent poll showed Hunter running fourth, behind Helena Moreno, Oliver Thomas, and Duplessis.

Hunter has not only lagged in the polls but in another crucial area of running for public office: money. He launched his campaign with no cash and raised $120,000 since, far behind other candidates.
