Caught Our Eye

A Landrieu has a new Senate job

Posted by LegiStorm on Sept. 16, 2014

Sen. Mary Landrieu's (D-La.) nephew, one of several of her relatives with Capitol Hill ties, is back at the Senate.

Tyler Landrieu, a 2014 New York University graduate, first came to the Hill in 2008 as a Senate page, a paid job bestowed upon high school juniors. In August, he returned to take a real job as research assistant with the Senate Finance Committee.

Tyler Landrieu earned a bachelor's degree in economics and spent summers during college working for the New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo campaign, the Receivables Exchange and Raymond James Financial Inc.

But the committee's new employee is just one Landrieu family member in a network that goes back several years on the Hill. Tyler Landrieu's' brother, Jacques Landrieu, the senator's son Connor Snellings and nieces Hannah Sensenbrenner, Erica Sensenbrenner and Claire Landrieu were also Senate pages. Niece Grace Landrieu was a page in 2005 and page coordinator in 2007.

The senator's cousin, Kent Satterlee III, is also a Shell Oil Co. lobbyist and her husband, Frank Snellings, is a prominent Washington real estate agent.
