Why is Mitch Landrieu running for mayor? [View All]

[BluegrassDem]

It's a step down from the lieutenant governor for sure. The only thing I can come up with is just pure exposure. The mayor of New Orleans is more nationally known than the NYC mayor. Outside of NYC, it's extremely rare for a mayor to be known nationally.

I guess it's a good political move for him, but if he's just running for mayor for pure political purposes, then I don't know if he's the best man to bring the city back as he'll be working for his own self-interests. That's just my opinion.
