Career

As an undergraduate, Landry was a legal assistant for Amnesty International. She also served as a staff assistant for Congressman Dave Obey and as a legislative correspondent for Senator Debbie Stabenow. After graduating from law school, Landry worked briefly as an attorney at Skadden. From 2006 to 2010, she was an associate at Katten Muchin Rosenman, specializing in commercial litigation and internal investigations. She was an associate at Lemle & Kelleher from 2010 to 2013 and Liskow & Lewis from 2013 to 2015.

On May 6, 2022, Landry, a progressive Democrat, publicly announced her run for the district 5 state senate seat, seeking to replace former Louisiana Senator Karen Carter Peterson.[4] On November 8, 2022, Landry was defeated by Royce Duplessis, a Democrat, in the race for the Senate District 5 seat.[5] That same month, Landry changed her voter registration to No Party Preference.[6] Landry rejoined the Democratic Party before the legislature returned to session.
