As Louisiana's lieutenant governor, Mitch Landrieu continues a family pubic service tradition—his father was New Orleans mayor; his sister is the state's senior U.S. senator. He also served in the state legislature for 16 years and taught at his alma mater, Loyola University Law School. In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Landrieu helped develop Louisiana Rebirth. He has also created the World Cultural Economic Forum, to promote his state as the embodiment of a global cultural economy.
