Leaders of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) met in New Orleans on Saturday afternoon to discuss communications strategy and finances. The organization, which will be involved in Sen. Mary Landrieu's re-election campaign, sets the political party's platform and raises money for Democratic candidates around the country.
At least two Louisiana natives, state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson and political strategist Donna Brazile, sit on the DNC's executive committee and attended Saurday's meeting. The DNC's National Finance Committee chairman, Texan Henry Munoz, said he owns a house in New Orleans.
