NOMAR has made the following endorsements:
Mayor – Desiree Charbonnet
Desiree Charbonnet has the vision, plan, and experience to be a great Mayor for New Orleans. As a Recorder of Mortgages, she grew to understand the ins and outs of the real estate industry. As a judge, she gained a reputation as someone who is thorough, conscientious, and fair. As a candidate for Mayor, she has pledged to work with all stake holders on the important issues facing the city and she has demonstrated a willingness to listen to all sides of a policy proposal or important issue in order to make an informed decision on what is right for the people of New Orleans. Her inclusion of both the business community and non-profit organizations on affordable housing issues is exactly the approach the citizens of this city need and NOMAR is proud to support Desiree Charbonnet for Mayor.
Council District B – Seth Bloom
Seth Bloom is a proven leader with great ideas to help move New Orleans forward. He will be a great representative of District B and we are happy to support him in the runoff.
Council District E – James A. Gray, II
Councilman Gray is a true leader, a friend to REALTORS®, and is always willing to go the extra mile to make his district and the City the best they can be. We are proud to support his reelection.

Urgent Flood Insurance Update
NAR has issued Call for Action asking Congress to support HR 2874 to reauthorize NFIP. NOMAR and the Louisiana Congressional delegation oppose this bill, as it has provisions that would be harmful to the Louisiana housing market. We are asking you to disregard or delete the email and/or text alert when you receive it. Stand with NOMAR and our Louisiana Congressmen and DO NOT take the Call for Action.
