NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson has decided to restart her re-election campaign as of Thursday, July 10.

The announcement comes months after she suspended her run amid the Orleans Parish Prison escape of 10 inmates. Nine have since been recaptured and transferred to Angola Prison while Derrick Groves remains on the run.

Following the May 20 suspension, she said “I cannot spend a moment putting politics over your needs. Now is the time to focus on security, accountability and public safety.”

Hutson is expected to make a formal announcement during a speech at Addis Nola at 5:30 p.m.

Also running for the position are:

  • Michelle Woodfork
  • Edwin Shorty Jr.
  • Earnest Lee Sr.
  • Julian Parker
