JP Morrell for New Orleans City Council At-large
Jean Paul "JP" Morrell has been a relentless advocate for policies that place people first. JP started serving our community as a public defender right out of law school and later was elected to the State Legislature in 2006 – where he helped pass a historic package of laws to increase protections for the survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence and a constitutional amendment to require unanimous jury decisions in felony trials, undoing a Jim Crow-era law in Louisiana. JP never backed down from impossible fights when he knew what was best for the people of our city.
