Grateful to have the support of the Circle of Chiefs, which represents numerous Black Masking Indian tribes. Throughout my term, I've fought for the traditions of Mardi Gras Indians because they ARE the culture that makes New Orleans so unique. Thank you, Circle of Chiefs!

Thank you to the Huntlee Village Neighborhood Association for having me at tonight’s meeting! 💥 It’s always great to talk with engaged residents from across the city about issues impacting their neighborhood.

Big congrats to the Roots of Music on their brand new campus! Roots of Music is a recipient of the @nolacitycouncil’s Recreation and Culture Fund because they do AMAZING work connecting kids with music. Can’t wait to see them grow in this new chapter!

The primary duty of state and local law enforcement isn’t to support federal partners, it’s to enforce state and local laws. bit.ly/4nbvuS9

I thought that today's meeting was going to be pretty straightforward, but I was wrong. The mayor and her Admin like to preach about collective responsibility, but the mayor made it clear today who she thinks is to blame for the deficit. www.instagram.com/p/DPSboQbAf_v/

Had a blast at the final Snowball Meet & Greet at Studio Be! It’s been a wonderful opportunity to talk to residents across the city (and the snowball is nice too). Thank you for hosting, @studio_be_!

Thank you @paseverett 💪🏽💥 Pastor Everett is a fantastic community partner and I’m proud to have his support! #FinishTheFight

Happy National Coffee Day! ☕ New Orleans has a long history of importing and roasting coffee in the city, so it only makes sense that we have the best coffee shops.

NEW EPISODE OF ASK JP DROPPING AT MIDNIGHT 💥🎙️ You wanted the best. We got the best. AskJP goes back to Stein’s Deli to catch up with friend of the pod Dan Stein. We talk about the upcoming election, why Stein is supporting me for re-election, and the importance of radical acceptance.

Another unforgettable Zulu picnic at City Park with the best food, the best music and the best company around!

I read some of the Amelia Earhart files. It was crazy that her last radio transmission was her asking for the release of the Epstein files.

Truth Hurts: Budgets and Bills for Mayoral Apologists If you’re going to spend your entire mayoral campaign by targeting the City Council, the least you can do is come correct. Senator Duplessis seems not to be getting how the city budget works... www.instagram.com/p/DPCwv4cj8JA/

New Orleans is 1 of a handful of cities that Indivisible has chosen as an anchor city for No Kings 2.0 (red stars) on Oct.18th. That means they are allocating more resources to organizing and spreading the word so that we have an even bigger event than we'd have otherwise had. #nokings #nolasky

In recent years, there's been a deluge of New Orleans-based reality TV programs that feature (or exploit) the sick, the incarcerated, and victims of crime. The newest iteration is a show called Homicide Squad, and today the Council raised serious concerns about the ethics surrounding these shows.

I am humbled to receive once again the sole endorsement of Voters Organized to Educate (VOTE) 💥 VOTE and I have a long history of collaboration that has produced real results for formerly incarcerated people in the state of Louisiana.

I’m humbled to receive the endorsement of Community Organized for Urban Politics for re-election. As one of the original organizations created to support Black leadership and promote unity in our community, it is an endorsement that has to be earned each cycle.

Well, that's embarrassing.

I'm grateful to receive the support of New Orleans East Leadership💥 Throughout my time on the Council, I have stood up with the East against zoning measures and other projects that would decrease the quality of life for residents. Let's continue the fight for the East and every neighborhood! #TeamJP

Happy #LaborDay, New Orleans! Labor unions are the reason this city keeps running: from construction workers, to service industry workers, to city hall employees. This past term, I’ve been outspoken about the mistreatment of city workers right here in City Hall. (Cont’d)

Proud to receive the sole endorsement of the Forum For Equality! I've worked extensively with FFE since my time in #lalege, including when then State Rep. Mike Johnson tried to give clergy coverage for refusing to perform same-sex marriages. Check out that story below! www.nola.com/gambit/news/...
