N.O. City Council runoff to pit Stacy Head and Cynthia Willard-Lewis
Times-Picayune (excerpt)

The contest to fill one of the two at-large spots on the New Orleans City Council is headed for an April 21 runoff that will match two familiar faces: Stacy Head, the council's current District B representative, and Cynthia Willard-Lewis, a former state legislator who also served 10 years in the council's District E seat. Head and Willard-Lewis, both Democrats, led a field of seven contenders Saturday in the race to replace Arnie Fielkow, who resigned the citywide position in October to take a job as head of the National Basketball Retired Players Association. The winner will serve the remainder of Fielkow's term, which expires in May 2014. Turnout for the special election, the only major local item on the ballot, was about 16 percent of the city's 234,209 registered voters.
