An new online tool can help New Orleans voters figure out which one of six major candidates for mayor embraces policy positions most closely aligned with his or her views.
The Glassbooth platform then runs those answers through its digital paces, spitting out a percentage that shows how closely the user's views compare with those of each candidate. Results are based on the answers candidates provided to surveys, plus research described at the site, organizers say.
Rob Couhig, John Georges, Troy Henry, Mitch Landrieu, James Perry and Nadine Ramsey participated in the survey developed by EngageNOLA, a local group that aims to engage young professionals in local politics. The primary is Feb. 6.
