Community activist vying for House seat

She touts experience in helping city heal Friday, August 31, 2007

From staff reports

Deborah Langhoff, a community activist, has announced her candidacy for the 94th District state House seat.

As a civic leader and small business owner, Langhoff said she has spent the past two years working with people who are leading the city’s recovery. It’s this experience, she said, that will serve voters.

As a homeowner and small business owner, Langhoff said she has felt the frustration citizens have with rebuilding, rising insurance, safety and politics.

“I’m running for state representative because I believe New Orleanians deserve a chance to be represented by an advocate for them,” she said.

For 16 years, Langhoff has been a public schools advocate. She serves on the founding board of the Neighborhood Partnerships Network, the 5th District Neighborhood Recovery Group Steering Committee and the New Orleans Energy Police Task Force, where she promotes urban tree canopy restoration.

Langhoff also serves as president of the Lake Vista Homeowners Association and revived the Mid-City Neighborhood Organization’s block captain program.

The 94th District includes the lakefront neighborhoods, City Park and parts of Mid-City, Gentilly and Faubourg St. John. The primary is Oct. 20.

A native New Orleanian, Langhoff graduated from John McDonogh High School and attended the American Ballet Theatre School in New York City. She and her husband, Alan, have three children.
