A new one called https://www.notforsalenola.com/ has gone up and this one hits the leading candidate, former Judge Desiree Charbonnet. The site indicates that it will be broken up in chapters, with the first one stating, “Tales of Cronyism, Corruption and Sweetheart Deals by the Queen of Patronage”.  The site claims that Charbonnet hired former US Congressman Bill Jefferson’s niece.

However, despite the obvious cowardly hit by the unnamed attack-site, Charbonnet is in a good place, money-wise. According to WWL-TV, she has $645,012.61 cash on hand, Frank Scurlock, who has funded virtually all of his campaign claiming $570,000 available.  Current New Orleans City Councilwoman has $182,606.76 funds on hand and former mayoral candidate, Judge Michael Bagneris $180,204.15.

Charbonnet can claim a win this week with her picking up the endorsement of the New Orleans Teacher's Union.
