“National PAC backs Moreno’s historic candidacy, highlighting her proven leadership and vision for a safer, more equitable and thriving New Orleans.”
Washington, DC—April 24, 2025—Latino Victory Fund proudly endorses Helena Moreno for mayor of New Orleans. The organization’s support for Moreno is focused on her trajectory as a trailblazer, reformer, and dedicated public servant, noting that her candidacy represents a powerful opportunity to bring bold, experienced leadership to one of America’s most vibrant yet challenged cities.
“Helena Moreno embodies the leadership New Orleans needs to meet this moment. She is smart, fearless, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the community,” said Katharine Pichardo-Erskine, President & CEO of Latino Victory Fund. “Throughout her career, Helena has fought for justice, equity, and opportunity. At a time when communities face rising public safety concerns, urgent infrastructure needs, and a demand for a government that works for everyone, Helena stands out as a proven champion for working families, small businesses, and historically marginalized communities. Latino Victory is proud to stand with her, and we urge voters to support this historic candidacy at the ballot box.”
A Fighter for Safer, Stronger Communities
Helena Moreno’s career has been defined by service. From her early days as an award-winning journalist to her trailblazing work as a Louisiana State Representative and now as President of the New Orleans City Council, Moreno has consistently delivered results.
Her track record includes securing millions of dollars for violence prevention programs, supporting summer youth jobs initiatives, driving reforms that expand economic opportunity for small businesses, leading climate action efforts, and pushing for criminal justice reforms that prioritize safety while promoting fairness.
A Vision for New Orleans’ Future
As Mayor, Moreno’s top priorities will include strengthening public safety by expanding community-based policing, violence interruption programs, and public health responses to crime; fixing critical infrastructure, from drainage systems to roadways, and investing in disaster resilience to protect the city from future storms; and making government more efficient, accountable, and responsive to the needs of all residents, particularly historically underserved communities.
Latino Victory’s Call to Action
Latino Victory Fund is committed to increasing Latino representation and electing leaders who will champion justice, opportunity, and inclusion. As the Hispanic population in New Orleans grows and Latinos become a stronger political force, this election represents a critical opportunity to ensure our communities have a strong advocate in City Hall.
“This is a historic moment for New Orleans and Latino representation. We are proud to support her and look forward to seeing her transformational leadership at work,” said Pichardo-Erskine.
