Jasmine Threatt- Blog Post 1- Ethos

Mary Landrieu does display expertise in her career. She's was elected to the Louisiana State Legislator at the age of 23. She served eight years as a state representative and two terms as State Treasurer. In 1996, she was elected as the first woman to a full time State Senate. She's has a great experience in government.
Bill Cassidy displays the ethos aspect "goodwill". One of his issues are his concern for the uninsured. His website says, "Dr. Cassidy’s concern for the uninsured and for families led him to co-found a clinic for the working uninsured; create a private-public partnership to vaccinate 36,000 school children in a 10 parish area against Hepatitis B; and led a team of volunteers to turn an abandoned K-Mart into a surge hospital to care for Hurricane Katrina evacuees". Anyone would feel more protected with insurance. He sympathizes with the audience that needs that assistance he's willing to provide for those who can't afford it.
Rob Maness displays trustworthiness. He comes from a military family--his dad served in the Air Force, and when Rob turned of age he followed in his footsteps. He shows his respect and honor for this country which gives people the impression of having our best interest at heart and a insight on warfare issues.


Mary Landrieu enhanced her credibility by becoming the first women to be elected to the full time State Senate. That's a major accomplishment.
To enhance Bill Cassidy's credibility he opened up a clinic to back up his position on providing care for the uninsured.
Rob Maness enhanced his credibility because he took an oath to protect our country and that's what he went and did his senior year.


In my opinion, Mary Landrieu has more government experience. Rob just has military experience which doesn't actually mean he will protect us better than Mary Landrieu will. Bill Cassidy will back up what he says, we see that with his clinic. However, how does that ensure his ability to serve on the Senate? That's why I see Mary Landrieu as the better candidate for Senate.
