French Quarter Citizens for the Preservation of Residential Quality

In December and early January, a team from French Quarter Citizens (FQC) and Vieux Carré Property Owners, Residents and Associates (VCPORA) interviewed candidates for Mayor and for City Council At-Large and District C seats. We began each interview by asking each candidate to list their five major priorities; follow-up questions explored specific issues in more detail, or issues important to residents of the French Quarter that the candidates had not addressed. We did not always ask each candidate the same question and we frequently needed to paraphrase their statements, but did verify direct quotes from the recordings of the interviews. Please keep in mind that our summaries may not have fully captured all the subtleties of the candidate's positions; we encourage you to review the candidates' campaign materials, attend forums and other presentations, and, if possible, talk to the candidates themselves.
