About Nick Bacque
Nick Bacqué is a young, energetic, political new-comer with true vision for rebuilding a great American City. Born and raised in Lafayette, LA, he has called New Orleans home his entire adult life. Over that time has established himself as an entrepreneur, an intellectual, and a man dedicated to the city’s success: prior and post Katrina.
Whether it’s organizing charitable fundraisers, social events for Tulane, or simply exploring new economic opportunities in New Orleans, Nick Bacqué is thoroughly entrenched as a New Orleans local. For years, Nick has had his sights set on the Mayor’s seat in New Orleans, eager to implement his new vision of the city he loves. His political aspirations focus on logical, efficient ideas that will encourage renewed economic vitality to a city slowed by “good ole boy” politics and webs of bureaucracy. It is now, more than ever, that this city needs leadership with intelligence, energy, enthusiasm, and distance from the faulty systems in place right now.
Mr. Bacqué began his higher education here at Tulane University, a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering, a MBA in finance and management, and is currently working through a the medical portion of a combined Medical Doctor, Master’s in Public Health in Health Systems Management, and Master’s of Biomedical Engineering program.

Nick:
Thank you for placing a link on your website to mine. I will add yours to my site this evening. I admire you in the fact that you are in med school and attempting this. I have postponed my applications to law school for this race. Drop me a line when you have some time so we may speak privately.

Nick,
Congratulations! Shawne sent me the link to your site and I was compelled to leave a comment. I admire your drive, as I have always maintained that we need not “talk about it, but be about it.” I am most impressed that you have chosen to step up and speak out. It’s interesting that, while we were at A. B. Freeman, I didn’t realize we shared a birthday! I guess that explains why you are so likeable! BTW, if you ever want to discuss the City’s infrastructure, the levees, or phyto-/bio- remediation, I’d love to chat. When it comes to issues regarding the environment, I have a lot to say. (Quiet as it’s kept, I have a degree in civil engineering.) Anyway, take care and best wishes in your endeavors.
Christina H.
