Wrong!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ray Nagin

Clarence Ray Nagin, Jr. (born June 11, 1956) is the mayor of New
Orleans. He was first elected on March 2, 2002, to succeed his fellow
Democrat, Marc Morial. Nagin gained international attention in 2005
for his handling of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the New
Orleans area. He was reelected to a second term on May 20, 2006. Nagin
was a registered Republican his entire life, prior to seeking office.
He officially switched parties to win in a heavily Democratic area.
