Helena Moreno Files to Run for New Orleans Mayor in 2025

Primary election set for October 2025

NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno is preparing to launch a campaign for the city's highest office in 2025, according to paperwork filed with the Louisiana Ethics Board in August. 

Although she has yet to make a formal announcement, the filing indicates her intention to enter the race for Mayor of New Orleans -- a position that will be up for election in October 2025. 

Moreno, who has served as a prominent voice on the City Council, is unable to run for her current at-Large seat due to term limits. A seasoned public servant, Moreno's career includes time as a state representative and a journalist. 

The primary election is scheduled for October 2025, with a potential runoff set for November if needed.
