Mary Landrieu

Mary Loretta Landrieu (born November 23, 1955) is a Democratic United States Senator for the state of Louisiana. She is daughter of former New Orleans mayor Maurice Edwin "Moon" Landrieu and the sister of current Louisiana Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu. Her voting record has not been as liberal as that of the average Democratic senator; most Louisiana Democrats elected to statewide office tend to be more conservative than the national average.
