What year was Nagin re-elected as mayor?

2004
2006
2008
2010

Answer

In 2006, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin won a second term, despite criticism of his handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina the previous year. His victory was attributed to his strong support in the city's African-American community and a divided opposition. However, his second term was marred by corruption scandals, leading to his eventual resignation and conviction on federal corruption charges.
