New Orleans residents are seeking to push controversial Mayor LaToya Cantrell out of office as they claim she is guilty of 'quiet quitting' by failing to meet with her department heads for over a year.
The recall effort against Cantrell, 50, launched in August 2022 as vice chair organizer Ellen Carter worked to gather 50,000 signatures by February 22 - a goal she insists they surpassed.
Carter worked in Cantrell's office for three years and watched firsthand as she claimed the mayor 'quiet quit' or stopped doing her job, as crime rates increased and residents became fearful, she told Fox News.
'Right now our mayor doesn’t love New Orleans so the citizens and the residents stood up,' Carter told the news outlet. 'We’re taking our city back, and we’re gonna save New Orleans.'
