EngageNOLA CANDIDATE WATCH
Overview: To ensure that the upcoming municipal elections are driven by the electorate's priorities and concerns by pushing candidates to respond to the issues raised by EngageNOLA on behalf of the general electorate, particularly the young adult electorate.
Objectives: Develop candidate surveys eliciting their responses on specific municipal issues, with the priority of eliciting responses based on data and evidence. Introduce accountability as a crucial aspect of municipal politics by tracking and publicizing on our website discrepancies between candidate survey responses and recent statements or developments over the course of the campaigns.
