In a rare tempest of the calendar, the 4,200-member New Orleans Metropolitan Association of REALTORS® found itself with precious little time to launch an independent expenditure campaign for Mayor Mitch Landrieu’s re-election. This was thanks to an unlikely confluence of the date of its new trustees’ installation and first PAC meeting, the Orleans Parish Election Day, and — oh yes — Mardi Gras. Landrieu (the brother of U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, a longtime REALTOR® Champion, herself,) had worked tirelessly to improve the overall quality of life in the City of New Orleans and Orleans Parish, but was facing a tough election. The REALTORS® of New Orleans were successful and helped Landrieu win with 64 percent of the vote.
