The spirit of New Orleans is unity and progress, not divisiveness and dysfunction. Thatโ€™s the spirit Iโ€™ve always led with, and Iโ€™ll bring that same spirit as your next City Councilmember At-Large. โœŠ๐Ÿฟ

Whoever New Orleanians elect as mayor, Iโ€™ll be ready to work together from Day One. And when itโ€™s time to put people first, Iโ€™ll do that too โ€” always speaking truth to power, whether to the next mayor, a fellow councilmember, or any elected official.

Thatโ€™s how I launched the Community Lighthouse project to provide sanctuary after storms, itโ€™s how Iโ€™m running my campaign, and itโ€™s why Iโ€™m the only candidate ready to work with any mayor committed to a better future.

Iโ€™ve always known how to stand up to bullies, and that determination has helped me succeed throughout my life.

As your Councilmember, Iโ€™ll unite our city around solutions โ€” not divide it for attention.

ICYMI ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฟ Yesterday, my opponent took a bad-faith cut of one of my speeches to attack me & other candidates.

Councilmembers should rise above bullying tactics & instead model collaboration, humility, compassion, professionalism, & politics that puts people before personality. ๐Ÿงต

This isnโ€™t charity. Itโ€™s smart, sustainable, community-centered resilience โ€” and itโ€™s exactly the kind of leadership Gregory wants to bring to City Hall as your next City Councilmember At-Large.

That church became a "lighthouse" โ€” a beacon of safety where over 200 people came to charge phones, store insulin, and get access to food and electricity when they needed it most. In just one weekend, they distributed 4,000 pounds of food.

When Ida hit in 2021 โ€” and again, during Francine in 2024 โ€” entire neighborhoods in NOLA went dark for days. But one place stayed on last year: Broadmoor Community Church, thanks to solar panels and battery storage installed under Pastor Gregory Manningโ€™s leadership.

This is grassroots in its purest form, and itโ€™s a clear sign of who this campaign is for. Thank you๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

Meanwhile, our opponentโ€™s report tells a different story: Nearly half of his donors are wealthy corporations, PACs, and political insiders. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

On this latest report, we had more individual donors than our opponent โ€” 100% of our donors are individuals, and our average donation is just $25.

In New Orleans and across America, too many are being priced out, left behind, or unheard by self-serving politicians bound by corporate interests. True independence means a city and a country that work for all of us, not just the powerful.

Letโ€™s keep building that vision together! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

This Independence Day, letโ€™s remember that freedom means more than fireworks โ€” it means the ability to live with dignity, afford a home, and stay rooted in the communities we love.

The cost of living in NOLA is in a real crisis. Iโ€™m running for City Council because we deserve leadership that prioritizes our infrastructure, fights to keep housing & utilities affordable, & works to make our city easier for everyone. Iโ€™m ready to tackle this crisis head on at City Hall. Chip in!

This campaign isnโ€™t about politics as usual โ€” itโ€™s about building a city where everyday people, not entrenched power, have a seat at the table. And Fridayโ€™s turnout proved we are not alone.

Together, letโ€™s win this! โœŠ๐Ÿฟ #manning4change #easierforeveryone #neworleans #citycouncil
