FILE - In this Aug. 2, 2014 file photo, U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu speaks to the media in Baton Rouge, La. Landrieu wants her ascension to the chairmanship of the Senate’s energy committee to showcase her seniority and ability to champion Louisiana issues in Washington as she tries to persuade voters to keep her in office. Her leadership of the committee could end up undermining her clout argument, however, as the Democrat senator rallies for positions at odds with the Obama administration and the Senate’s Democratic leadership, and seems unable to gain traction on high-profile disputes.

FILE -This Dec. 5, 2012, file photo shows Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. on Capitol Hill in Washington. An indefinite extension to the government’s review of the contentious Keystone oil pipeline, announced late Friday, April 18, 2014, by the State Department, is doing little to quell the political posturing over the project, which has taken on a life of its own as climate change activists duke it out with energy advocates from both parties. For Landrieu, whose competitive race in Louisiana will help determine whether Democrats retain control of the Senate, the delay comes at a particularly sensitive moment. Landrieu recently took the helm of the Senate Energy Committee, and has been touting her new position to argue that she offers voters in oil-dependent Louisiana the best chance to influence America’s energy policies _ including approval of Keystone XL.

FILE - In this Oct. 3, 2013, file photo Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chair Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La. speaks at a news conference and Capitol Hill in Washington. Lithuania's energy minister pleaded with U.S. officials Tuesday to release natural gas resources into the world market to counter Russian influence in his country across Europe. Lithuania is completely dependent on Russia for natural gas and pays 30 percent more than other European countries, the energy minister told senators at a hearing Tuesday. "This is not just unfair. This is abuse.'' Landrieu held the hearing Tuesday _ her first hearing as chair of the Senate energy panel _ to focus on economic and foreign policy benefits of exporting natural gas.
