The field for the New Orleans mayoral election is set, and candidates have just a few months to win over voters before the October primary. Voters will choose a successor to Mayor LaToya Cantrell, who is term-limited and ineligible for re-election. The filing deadline to get on the ballot has passed. Stephanie Grace, editorial director and columnist at The Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, joined Louisiana Considered to tell us more about the field of candidates, including some surprising last-minute entries.

A longtime fill-in host for New Orleans Public Radio, Bob Pavlovich joined the station full-time in 2023. He hosts "All Things Considered" and "Louisiana Considered" on Thursdays.
