Mitch Landrieu Biography

Mitch Landrieu is one of the most popular and richest Lawyer who was born on August 16, 1960 in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Mitchell Joseph Landrieu (/’ l aen d ru:/ LAN-droo) is an American politician and attorney. He was Mayor of New Orleans between 2010 and 2018. Landrieu, a Democrat, was Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana between 2004 and 2010.

Mitch Landrieu was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2003. This was his first attempt at statewide office in Louisiana. Landrieu was elected Lieutenant Governor after 16 years of service in the State House. Landrieu won the Louisiana open primary with 53 percent of the vote. This result prevented him from being elected to the general election. Three Republicans were Landrieu’s main opponents: former U.S. Representative Clyde C. Holloway from Rapides Parish and former Lieutenant Governor Melinda Schwegmann, both of New Orleans. Kirt Bennett, a Baton Rouge businessman, was also present.

When Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005, the Lieutenant Governor was involved in the emergency response. After commanding portions of the hurricane response and recovery, Landrieu was tasked to lead the effort to rebuild the state’s tourism industry.

In February 2006, Landrieu officially announced he would run for mayor of New Orleans in the April 22 election. Before Hurricane Katrina the incumbent Ray Nagin was widely expected to be reelected with little difficulty, but post- disaster problems and controversies had left many New Orleanians interested in new leadership.

Landrieu unsuccessfully tried for the office as Mayor of New Orleans in 1994. Marc Morial, a son of a former mayor, took the office.

Landrieu was elected to Louisiana House of Representatives, 1987. He served sixteen years in the seat that had been held by his sister, and his father, before her.

Landrieu was a leader in the “Young Turks” and advocated for a non-partisan approach in governing. He also pushed for fiscal reform during the 1990s, when the state faced a difficult financial situation. He worked with a variety of bipartisan lawmakers to help focus attention on efficiency and accountability, rather than partisan battles. Landrieu was the leader of this coalition that often fought Democratic Governor Edwin Edwards to restructure government and not cut healthcare programs or raise fees. Landrieu pushed through the House a constitutional change to limit Louisiana’s borrowing. In 1999, Landrieu, along with Republican Governor Mike Foster, led an effort to place the $4.4 billion state tobacco settlement into a trust. This allowed the Legislature to allocate only the interest earned each year. Landrieu also supported major economic development projects in New Orleans, including the Morial Convention Center and the New Orleans Arena.

Landrieu led the legislative effort to reform Louisiana’s juvenile justice system with a focus on rehabilitation and reform as opposed to punishment and incarceration. As lieutenant governor, he continued to chair the Juvenile Justice Commission, the entity created by the legislation to implement the reforms. In January 2004, Governor Kathleen Blanco endorsed the Commission’s recommendations.

Landrieu immediately established clearer command and control, instituting a Deputy Mayor system and a new organizational chart for the nearly 4,000 employees and $1 billion total budget. In 2010, facing a nearly $100 million deficit, he closed the City’s budget gap—more than one-fifth of the total general fund—by cutting out waste, reorganizing departments and the delivery of core services, reducing boards and commissions, thereby eliminating the city’s longtime structural deficit. For eight straight years, he delivered a balanced budget. As a result, New Orleans’ credit ratings were upgraded four times during Mayor Landrieu’s tenure to its highest all-time rating. Landrieu reformed the city procurement system. He created the Office of Performance and Accountability to publicly track how well City government is keeping its promises and launched an expansive open data system making more information available to the public and press. His administration developed NOLA 311 for constituents to report quality-of-life concerns and requests. It also launched a “One Stop Shop” permit processing system to reduce permit times and make the city more business friendly.
