New Orleans (November 23, 2009) — New Orleans City Council Member, Stacy Head, today announced her campaign for re-election to District B.

“New Orleans has the greatest people in the country who do great things to make a great city,” Head said. “Our city needs leadership that works hard to bring integrity and trust to City Hall. We need to make our neighborhoods strong and healthy so that our families are safe. We need to support a charter school system that has become a national model for success and that is key to creating hope and opportunity for our children.”

Head stated, “I’ve worked hard to focus attention on every neighborhood in District B, and I’ve forged bonds of trust across all groups. Our neighborhoods are a unique treasure. They form the backbone of our city’s culture. On the City Council, I’ll keep working to fix the potholes, reduce blight, and take police away from behind their desks and put them on the streets to improve safety. Above all, I will make sure that the taxpayers of our city get a dollar of value for every dollar spent. Citizens are entitled to responsible and accountable government. That’s what I stand for.”

Head was elected to her first term in 2006, and prides herself on being a hard worker and “grassroots” leader who stays in touch with her constituents. According to Head, “I believe that our greatest successes come from visiting with individual citizens and neighborhood groups so that their ideas are heard and acted upon.

“The best days of New Orleans lie ahead of us. With the right leadership, we’ll greet those days with new hope and opportunity.”
