On Thursday night the two African American women vying to make history by becoming the first woman ever to be elected mayor of New Orleans faced-off in their final debate before their runoff election. 

Charbonnet is a former Municipal court judge who at one point had a huge financial advantage over Cantrell and 16 other candidates with an aggressive fundraising campaign, only to see it diminish with Cantrell's strong primary finish.

Three recent polls show City Councilwoman Cantrell with a double lead over Charbonnet. Whoever wins will make history as the first ever woman to be elected Mayor of the city in a runoff election tomorrow.
