Democratic National Committee billboard finds correct placement by New Orleans airport

A month ago, officials at the Democratic National Committee wanted publicity for a billboard alongside Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport that highlighted President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion financial relief plan approved by Democrats in Congress. Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Kennedy, the billboard noted, voted against it.

“Folks in New Orleans and senators traveling home won’t be able to miss this message,” DNC Chairman Jamie Harrison said in a statement.

That was the main route to the airport terminal – until it closed in November 2019. The access road now receives a fraction of the traffic compared to before.

DNC officials now want it known that they have bought space on another billboard in the right spot, just off Interstate 10 and Loyola Avenue on the way to the new terminal. “America is back on track. Thank you President Biden!!” it says.
