State Rep. Walt Leger III, D-New Orleans, has been mentioned in many quarters as a possible candidate for mayor later this year, but he says he?s in no hurry to announce his intentions. The lawmaker had hired a team of consultants, but they?re on hold until after the annual legislative session ends June 8.

?There will be a time in the future when my attention will shift more keenly toward local political and policy issues,? Leger said in an emailed statement to Gambit.?
