Mary Landrieu

I regret having missed two votes on November 18, 2013. The two votes that I missed are as follows: motion to invoke cloture on the nomination of Robert L. Wilkins to be a U.S. circuit judge for the DC Circuit and motion to invoke cloture…

I thank the Senator so much. Senator Hoeven has joined us, and he has been particularly forceful on the issue of basements in a State that doesn't have an ocean anywhere around it but has some serious flooding challenges. I would hope the…

What is the Senator hearing at home from the people of Massachusetts about this, and how important does she think it is for us to have the support of the realtors and the homebuilders and other national organizations that understand the…

I thank the Senator from Mississippi for his comments and engaging in this exchange on the floor this morning. The Senator from Florida has been particularly concerned because Florida has a very robust population as one of our largest…

I hope that you could support it or a version of it, you could keep the plan that you want.

We are having this hearing to make sure we are doing everything possible to make sure that this Act works for small business owners and their employees.

This is not about President Obama. It is about the people of the United States of America.

There is no price that you can put, in my view, on peace of mind.

Ensuring that these marketplaces work the way they were intended when we passed the Act is vital to helping the businesses in our country.

His bill which I voted against and many Democrats did not keep the promise. It gutted in the bill.

Making the ACA work the way it was intended is what I intend to try to do.

This is a red, white and blue advantage for our country. We've got it. The world wants it.

I just want to give my full support for these 3 nominees and they are highly qualified.

The world of government contracting is very complicated.

We need to do everything possible to clear a path for them to use those skills to make a living for themselves and their families and to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams.
