The first round of voting took place on December 9 through December 11, 2009, and the election occurred on February 6, 2010. The incumbentmayor, Ray Nagin, was ineligible to run for the office again due to term limits.
On February 6, Mitch Landrieu was elected Mayor of New Orleans, and will be sworn in on May 3, 2010. He will be the first white mayor since his father, Moon Landrieu.
Candidates
Several candidates in multiple parties registered to run for the office of Mayor of New Orleans.
Brad Pitt, Actor. Despite a tongue-in-cheek "Brad Pitt for Mayor" campaign by some locals, Pitt was not actually running. He does not qualify under the city charter, which specifies candidates must have been New Orleans residents for at least 5 years. [1]
