New Orleans is in trouble. Our streets are broken, crime is out of control, and too many families are struggling.
We can’t keep making excuses — it’s time for real solutions.
I’m Arthur Hunter, and I’m running for mayor because I know we can rebuild this city the right way.
I grew up in New Orleans East. I played football on my neighborhood NORD playground, went to St. Augustine High School, and later joined the New Orleans Police Department. I worked full-time as a cop while going to law school at night. I became a lawyer, then a judge. I’ve seen the system from every side — but I haven’t been compromised by it.
I know what it takes to fix what’s broken.
We need to make our city safe again. That means putting more police officers on the streets — not just driving by — but walking in our neighborhoods, talking to people, and building trust. We need our local officers working closely with State Police and federal law enforcement to keep everyone on the same page.
We need to fix our streets the right way — no more patchwork jobs that fall apart in six months.
We need better opportunities for our kids. We can team up with schools, churches, medical clinics, and nonprofits to create year-round programs that keep kids safe and give them the tools they need to succeed.
And we need to support local businesses so they can grow, create jobs, and bring life back to our neighborhoods.
I won’t have millions to spend on this campaign, but that’s never mattered to me. I entered public service to do the work — respect people and make a difference in the city. That’s why I’m running for mayor.
I need your help to win. I need your time, your energy, and your voice. Spread the word — because this is your city, my city, our city.
No more excuses — only solutions. Let’s get to work.
