Helena Moreno has waged courageous fights on behalf of the people of New Orleans to win a better future for everyone. She's dedicated to championing change on behalf of our communities by demanding a fair, effective and unbiased justice system; health care as a right, not a privilege; living wages for our working families; strong climate action; and by securing and expanding civil and voting rights.

Helena began her career in New Orleans as an award-winning investigative reporter for NBC affiliate, WDSU-TV. She was part of a team awarded an Emmy for outstanding coverage during Hurricane Katrina. Too often, however, her reports turned up problems in the political system. In 2008, she decided to not just report, but do something about it. Setting aside her promising broadcast career, she entered public service.

In May of 2010, she was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives, and in 2017, she was elected to the New Orleans City Council. Helena has built a reputation as a tireless advocate on behalf of the people of New Orleans. She’s led the fight for a safer, more affordable, more equitable, and more accountable city. In 2021, the people of New Orleans overwhelmingly endorsed her re-election: Helena won 85% of the vote and won every voting precinct in New Orleans.

Since 2015, Ragusa has provided communications services to the Moreno campaign.
