LA-Sen: 68 Louisiana Mayors Endorse Senator Landrieu by: ryan Mon Jul 14, 2008 at 14:56:28 PM CDT This morning in Baton Rouge, 68 of Louisiana's Mayors, Republicans and Democrats, came together to endorse our tenacious fighter in the Senate - Senator Mary Landrieu. Republican Mayor Mayson Foster of Hammond introduced Senator Landrieu at the event today, saying: "Sen. Landrieu has been a tireless and effective advocate for us since she was first sworn into the Senate almost twelve years ago," Mayor Foster said. "In Hammond, and in communities throughout Louisiana, we have seen the successful results of her leadership. Sen. Landrieu always puts Louisiana above political party, and she'll do what it takes to get the job done. Mary Landrieu fights for us, and she delivers for us. She has the Congressional seniority our State needs now more than ever." If John Kennedy can't get the Republican Mayor of Hammond to back him, how in the world will he get the conservative voters of this state to back him? After all, Senator Landrieu's positions on social issues, some of which I disagree with, and some I agree with, are in line with the values of conservative Louisianans, as stated much more eloquently by Mayor Jacques Roy of Alexandria: "Sen. Landrieu has exhibited courage and bipartisanship throughout her career and has a desirable propensity to work within the 'vital center' while maintaining adherence to Louisiana values on issues of ethics and morality. She makes us proud as our senior senator from Louisiana. That notion of seniority is paramount to consider at this time. Given the momentous changes in leadership in our delegation, seniority has never been more highlighted for the continued effectiveness of efforts on behalf of Louisianans." You can see the entire list of Mayors endorsing Senator Landrieu below. But, first, a point to consider: There are 64 parishes in Louisiana. Those 68 Mayors come from 39 of them. That means that more than half of Louisiana's Parishes have at least one Mayor endorsing Senator Landrieu at this stage of the campaign ... 3 days after it began. ryan :: LA-Sen: 68 Louisiana Mayors Endorse Senator Landrieu Mayors Endorsing Senator Landrieu • Mayor Daniel P.
