About Me
Danyelle Christmas is an activist, running for City Council District E because she is tired of politicians making promises they never deliver on. As the child of a wrongfully convicted man who experienced Louisiana’s for-profit prison system firsthand, she lost a decade with her father and decided, "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept."
Danyelle is running to address the housing crisis, create economic development, and realize economic justice so the residents of New Orleans East/Lower 9th Ward can have access to a quality life. She will hold elected officials accountable so that they can then hold big business for-profit companies accountable. Danyelle will address the infrastructure problems that has plagued the people of New Orleans for years. She aims to do what the government was designed to do: protect and serve the people it governs and ensure basic human rights for all people.
