Mary Loretta Landrieu (born November 23, 1955) is the Senior Democratic United States senator from the state of Louisiana, as well as the first, and as of 2008, only woman from that state to be elected to the Senate. (Senator Landrieu was not the first female to serve as a senator from Louisiana, as she was preceded by Senators Rose Long (1935) and Elaine Edwards (1972), both appointed.) She is the daughter of former New Orleans mayor Moon Landrieu and the sister of current Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu. By national standards, Landrieu is one of the more conservative Democrats in the U.S. Senate. She is a member of the New Democrat Coalition. She is up for re-election in 2008 in what is expected to be a tight race.[1] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 473 × 599 pixelsFull resolution (2400 × 3040 pixels, file size: 2. ...

Personal life

Landrieu was born in Arlington, Virginia to Verna Satterlee and former New Orleans mayor Maurice Edwin Landrieu,[2] and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended Ursuline Academy of New Orleans. She graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1977 where she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority. She was a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1980 to 1988. She then served as Louisiana state treasurer from 1988 to 1996. Landrieu was an unsuccessful candidate in the 1995 gubernatorial race in Louisiana — she finished third in the state's qualifying primary (sometimes referred to as the "jungle" primary) — thus failing to make the run-off, which effectively becomes the general election in Louisiana. The eventual winner was Democrat-turned-Republican Murphy J. "Mike" Foster, Jr..

1996 Senate election

Landrieu was elected to the U.S. Senate seat previously held by John Bennett Johnston, Jr., in 1996. She defeated the Republican candidate Woody Jenkins of Baton Rouge by 5,788 votes out of 1.7 million cast, the narrowest national result of the 33 races for the U.S. Senate that year and one of the closest election margins in Louisiana history. At the same time, Democrat Bill Clinton carried Louisiana by a considerable margin — 927,837 votes to 712,586 cast for Republican Bob Dole. Louisiana was admitted to the Union on April 30, 1812. ...

Jenkins refused to accept defeat and charged massive election fraud, orchestrated by the Democratic political organization of New Orleans, which provided Landrieu's narrow margin of victory. He took his case to the Republican-majority U.S. Senate and petitioned for nullification of the results of the Senate election and ordering new balloting. In a hearing, carried live by C-SPAN, the Senate Rules Committee in a party-line 8-7 vote agreed to investigate the charges. The decision briefly placed Landrieu's status in the U.S. Senate under a cloud. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... The United States Senate Committee on Rules and Administration is responsible for dealing with the rules of the United States Senate, with administration of congressional buildings, and with credentials and qualifications of members of the Senate, including responsibility for dealing with contested elections. ...


The investigation dragged on for over ten months, angering the Democrats and exacerbating partisan friction in the day-to-day sessions of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee to which Landrieu was assigned as a freshman member of the 105th Congress. Finally, in October 1997, the Rules Committee issued a report noting numerous instances of major electoral irregularities, but concluding that a new election at that late stage would place too onerous a burden on the state of Louisiana and recommended letting the election result stand. The 105th Congress met from January 7, 1997 to January 5, 1999. ... For the band, see 1997 (band). ...


The Landrieu-Jenkins contest was not the only U.S. Senate election in 20th century Louisiana in which the results were hotly disputed. Future Senator John H. Overton of Alexandria, the seat of Rapides Parish, claimed the renomination and hence reelection of Senator Joseph E. Ransdell of Lake Providence, the seat of East Carroll Parish, was tainted. In 1932, Senator Edwin S. Broussard of New Iberia claimed that his primary defeat by Overton was fraudulent. In both cases, the Senate seated the certified winners, Ransdell and Overton, respectively.

Landrieu as senator

Landrieu narrowly won re-election in the 2002 mid-term election. She defeated Suzanne Haik Terrell of New Orleans. Without her large base from Orleans Parish, Landrieu would have been unseated. Some experts and pundits had considered Landrieu as a possible running mate for presidential candidate John Kerry in the 2004 election before Kerry's selection of then Senator John Edwards of North Carolina. With the departure of John B. Breaux from the Senate in December 2004, his seat being taken by Republican David Vitter, Landrieu became Louisiana's senior senator. She faces voters again in 2008. Terrell ran for Louisiana attorney general in 2003 and was defeated by Charles Foti, a Landrieu supporter from Orleans Parish. Also see: 2002 (number). ...

Gang of 14

Sen. Landrieu (center) joins Women of the Storm from the Gulf Coast .

On May 23, 2005, Landrieu was among the Gang of 14, the group of moderate senators who forged a compromise on the use of the judicial filibuster and blocked the Republican leadership's attempt to implement the so-called nuclear option over the organized filibustering by Senate Democrats of judicial nominees in the U.S. Senate. Under the agreement, the Democrats would retain the power to filibuster a Bush judicial nominee only in an "extraordinary circumstance" and the three most conservative Bush appellate court nominees (Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen and William Pryor) would receive a vote by the full Senate.

Landrieu supports eliminating the estate tax permanently, and voted for the tax cut passed in 2001. On November 17, 2005, she was one of only four Democrats to vote against repealing the portions of the tax cuts passed in 2001 and 2003 that more liberal Democrats have charged unfairly benefit the wealthy. She voted for the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 and the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. In 2004, Landrieu was one of only six Democrats to vote against renewing the ban on semi-automatic firearms. She has also been one of the few Democrats to support drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Olympia Snowe of Maine) the formation of a "centrist coalition" of moderate senators of both parties, the goal of which they announced to be reducing partisan rancor in the new Senate.


Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina destroyed Landrieu's lakeside New Orleans home. The senator has become a national spokeswoman for victims of the hurricane and has complained of "the staggering incompetence of the national government."[3] In an interview with Chris Wallace, Landrieu called the evacuation of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina "the best evacuation."

Mary Landrieu - Congresspedia (1477 words)
On May 23, 2005, Landrieu was among the Gang of 14, the group of moderate senators who forged a compromise on the use of the judicial filibuster, thus blocking the Republican leadership's attempt to implement the so-called nuclear option over the organized filibustering by Senate Democrats of judicial nominees in the US Senate.
Mary Landrieu was born November 23, 1955 in Arlington, Virginia and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Landrieu was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996, defeating Woody Jenkins, and narrowly won reelection in 2002, defeating Suzanne Haik Terrell.
Mary Landrieu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1116 words)
Mary Landrieu was born in Arlington, Virginia, and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Landrieu was an unsuccessful candidate in the 1995 gubernatorial race in Louisiana—she finished third in the state's qualifying primary (sometimes referred to as the "jungle" primary)—thus failing to make the run-off which effectively becomes the general election in Louisiana.
Landrieu was elected to the U.S. Senate in the presidential election year of 1996, defeating Woody Jenkins by 5,788 votes out of 1.7 million cast, the narrowest national result of the 33 races for the U.S. Senate and one of the closest election margins in Louisiana history.
