 Mary Landrieu had a reputation as a [[conservative Democrat]]; she voted to authorize military force in [[Iraq]] in 2002, supported expansion of U.S. oil drilling, and voted to ban [[partial birth abortion]]s. On other issues she was traditionally [[liberal]], earning a 91% rating by the [[National Education Association]] and a 77% from [[AFL-CIO]], indicating a pro-labor voting record.<ref>http://usliberals.about.com/od/liberalpersonalprofiles/p/SenLandrieu.htm</ref> Landrieu was part of the Gang of 14 that brokered a compromise during the 109th Congress to stop Democrats from denying voting opportunities on appellate court candidates nominated by the President. During the period after [[Hurricane Katrina]], Landrieu used the loss of her expensive lakeside home to become a spokesperson for Katrina victims and to attack the [[Bush administration]] for not doing enough to help the victims of the [[hurricane]].
