Mary Landrieu Campaign Ad

When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, Senator Landrieu knew that a tremendous of work had to be done. While working in Washington, she fought for the victims of this natural disaster, securing $120 billion in federal funds for the recovery effort. Mary has been committed to reforming FEMA to ensure the nation’s disaster response arm is speedy and effective the next time a disaster strikes the United States. If a disaster hits your home, you will not be alone with a President Landrieu.

I am a true Southern gal who knows how Washington works and I have worked with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, while staying true to my Democratic ideals. I have worked to help victims of major disasters, as we saw with Katrina, I have put my constituents needs before my own, and I will do the same as President.

My top priority as President would be to invest in our public schools, upgrade our schools to the latest technology, and to implement these changes in a way that a student in New York City or a student in Alabama could receive the same chance in the working world without nationalizing our education system.

Absolutely, I have served in the Senate since 1998, I was the Louisiana State Treasurer and I know how to balance a budget and work with constituents and lawmakers to appropriate the right amount to each program.

I think the appropriate course of action is to provide these people with a way to citizenship, such as serving in the military for two years. There are many ways our immigrants can contribute to our nation, and we must give them a chance to become citizens before immediately pushing them away.

Whoever wins the nomination, I will support them in the general election.
