Blanco had battled a rare eye cancer successfully in 2011, but that later returned and spread to her liver.
Her death came more than a year after the Democrat who served in state government offices for more than two decades announced she was in a “fight for my own life, one that will be difficult to win.” Blanco was governor from 2004 to 2008. Katrina stopped her plans to run for re-election. She was panned as unprepared, overwhelmed and indecisive, though views of her performance have moderated since the 2005 storm.

Was just talking to NealDenton about her the other afternoon. Thoughts with her family and Louisiana.
Check your history. You use the word 'led' pretty loosely.
RIP🙏
Democrats at it again
😥
MarkDavis RIP
Really sad. I called her office ( when the levees broke) because she wouldn’t let the rescuers pick up people les pets. Dogs were stranded, it was awful.
RIP Miss Blanco
😞
May God grant her peace.
