New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell issued her response Tuesday afternoon to the recall campaign falling short of the signatures needed to call a recall election.
"My administration has always remained focused on addressing the real pressing issues that face our City," said Cantrell. "Now, with the divisiveness of the failed recall campaign officially behind us, we must heal and recommit ourselves to working collaboratively to continue the progress we’ve made towards reducing crime, increasing public safety, building a more sustainable and resilient city and creating economic and job opportunities that benefit all of our people."
The mayor said that as a former member of the New Orleans City Council and as mayor, she has always respected the democratic process.
"The right of the people to use their voice to express concerns are hallmarks of a strong, functioning democracy. New Orleans is a strong community that continues to make meaningful progress each day," Cantrell said. "I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to the residents of New Orleans for trusting in my leadership and believing that, for New Orleans, the best is truly yet to come."
