Republican and Democratic leaders cite Landrieu's effectiveness.
GRETNA - Republican Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand and Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick has joined seven other elected officials from the parish to endorse U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu, D-La., who is seeking re-election this year. The officials join 17 officials from Jefferson Parish who had already endorsed Sen. Landrieu.
Sheriff Normand joined other prominent Republicans who have endorsed Sen. Landrieu, and he cited her ability to consistently deliver for Louisiana communities as the basis for his endorsement.
"There has never been a time when Sen. Landrieu has turned her back on our state's sheriffs," Sheriff Normand said. "For Senator Landrieu, it's never about party - being Republican or Democrat - it's about getting the job done for the people of Louisiana. She has always stood by us. And today I am proud to stand by her."
District Attorney Connick emphasized Sen. Landrieu's record of effectiveness in the U.S. Senate as the primary reason to re-elect her.
"Over the past 12 years, Senator Mary Landrieu has developed a distinguished record of accomplishment, and we simply cannot afford to lose her effectiveness and seniority in Congress," District Attorney Connick said today. "She works across the aisle to address important issues on behalf of our communities and families. I'm honored to stand with Mary Landrieu today as she seeks re-election."
"I am so proud to receive the endorsement of these Jefferson Parish officials," Sen. Landrieu said. "I fight every day in the Senate for the communities that make up Louisiana, and as long as I am in the Senate, they can count on me to win for them. I don't look for Democratic solutions or Republican solutions; I look for solutions that work for Louisiana."
Other Jefferson Parish officials endorsing Sen. Landrieu today include Rep. Girod Jackson III, Republican Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts, Rep. Robert Billiot, Mayor Tim Kerner, State Senator David Heitmeier, Mayor David Camardelle and Gretna Police Chief Arthur Lawson.
