 Leslie Jacobs Joins Race For Mayor Former BESE Member Running For City's Top Post UPDATED: 9:29 am CST November 18, 2009 Leslie Jacobs Joins Race For Mayo NEW ORLEANS -- Leslie Jacobs is the latest candidate to officially throw her name in the ring to become mayor of New Orleans. At a meet and greet Tuesday night with local entrepreneurs, Jacobs made one thing clear when it comes to the mayor's race in 2010. "This is going to be a different kind of election," said Jacobs, a former member of the Orleans Parish School Board and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. And the way Jacobs is launching her campaign for the city's top elected office is anything but usual. Instead of a podium and stump speech, she's sending out blasts through Facebook, Twitter and her Web site as well as running a round of TV spots. "It is by design. I don't want to be in a ballroom surrounded by my supporters. I wanted to talk to real New Orleanians," Jacobs said. Political pundits said the unconventional launch could be big. "Last year, Barack Obama got traction and used social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, so I think if you use those things, it's a good signal to have," said political analyst Errol Laborde. Jacobs is the latest candidate in what is shaping up to be a crowded field. Businessman John Georges entered the race a few weeks ago. Also in are former Judge Nadine Ramsey, state Sen. Ed Murray, attorney James Perry, businessman Troy Henry and comedian Jonah Bascle. Jacobs said she plans to outdistance the pack. "We all want the same things -- safe streets, better schools and honorable government," Jacobs said. The election for mayor is Feb. 6.
