Louisiana Weekly Endorses Mary Landrieu

Louisiana Weekly  |  Link to article

Senator Landrieu has our unanimous and enthusiastic support.

Mary Landrieu is likely the next Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee which overseas FEMA and our recovery dollars. She has become a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, which funds a large portion of our local economy, and has driven recovery dollars to Louisiana in the wake of four devastating hurricanes.

To replace this seniority with a junior member of the minority party who cannot decide whether he is a Democrat or Republican, Progressive or Conservative, Pro-War or Anti-War, would be foolish in the extreme. Senator Landrieu has been the epitome of a public servant in Washington, and to replace her at this critical juncture would be suicidal to the state’s influence on Capitol Hill.
