Change isn’t a slogan — it’s a record.
And JP Morrell has been delivering. From day one, he’s fought for justice, transparency, and accountability at City Hall. As a lifelong Marvel fan, JP knows that real change doesn’t come from superheroes — it comes from everyday people like you, standing up and showing up.
Fixing What’s Broken
We took on the Sewerage and Water Board to bring much-needed accountability to the agency. JP created a real billing appeals system, blocked unfair rate hikes, and pushed for greater transparency at every level. He helped give ratepayers a voice — and clear protections when things go wrong.
Making Government Work for Us
JP passed laws to strengthen oversight, open up city decision-making, and demand real transparency—from monthly public reporting on federal funds to new rules for surveillance and zoning. If public money is being spent, the public deserves to know how.
Safer Streets, Smarter Response
We strengthened public safety with real solutions—like better EMS staffing, stronger oversight of police hiring, and regular reporting from justice system leaders. JP’s policies focus on prevention, response, and long-term safety across every neighborhood.
Lower Bills and Smarter Energy
After Entergy failed us during Hurricane Ida, JP helped win a major lawsuit—and then blocked it from passing storm repair costs onto customers. He passed laws to stop unfair billing practices, required advance notice for meter readings, and established a clear process for customers to dispute inaccurate bills.
Power That Works for People
JP championed funding for solar + battery installations at churches and community centers to create Community Lighthouses—safe havens during power outages. He advanced Community Solar to lower bills for rate payers and pushed utilities toward cleaner, more reliable energy with real performance standards.
Protecting Every Taxpayer Dollar
We eliminated perks, slashed waste, and increased oversight of city contracts and spending. JP banned backdoor contract deals and made sure city money goes where it’s needed—not into the pockets of insiders.
Investing in Youth and Culture
JP created the New Orleans Recreation & Culture Fund to support youth, artists, and musicians. He expanded paid job programs for young people, backed holistic juvenile defense, and protected the cultural institutions that make New Orleans… New Orleans.
The broken system said change was impossible.
JP assured us, “We got this.”
As a lifelong Democrat representing New Orleans on the City Council, JP has taken on broken systems and delivered meaningful reform. From holding utilities accountable to investing in culture and public safety, his work is changing how local government serves people.
