There are just over three months left in the campaign to recall New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and yesterday organizers announced they have collected about a third of the signatures needed to force a new election.
Since August and organizers have amassed 19,000 signatures.
It will take 54,000 signatures to trigger a recall vote against the mayor.
Organizers said recent cash donations will allow a marketing campaign expansion in their push to recall Mayor Cantrell.
The deadline to get the remaining 35,000 signatures is Feb. 22.
Once the signatures are collected, they must be certified by the registrar of voters and then forwarded to the governor who must issue an election proclamation within 15 days of receiving the certified petition.
