Brad Pitt hasn’t thrown his hat in the ring to be mayor of his adopted hometown, New Orleans. Others have done that for him, launching a grassroots campaign complete with nifty T-shirts touting "Brad Pitt for Mayor"

It doesn’t sound like running for political office was his idea. I would imagine anyone put in the position where they do have some support would be flattered.
I’m not aware of the exact circumstances of his building project down there.
He’s fighting for BILLIONS in federal money to rebuild the lower ninth ward, the slummiest area of NOLA. He wants another section of public housing, which invariable become slums and ghettos.
Katrina was a big flush.
He wants to churn up the turds.
