House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Visits Metro Detroit

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will join Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick at two town hall meetings in Grosse Pointe Farms and Wyandotte Friday, July 25.

Speaker Pelosi and Congresswoman Kilpatrick will make appearances at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial in Grosse Pointe Farms, 32 Lake Shore Road, at 10:30 a.m., followed by a visit to the Downriver Italian-American Hall, 646 Biddle Avenue in Wyandotte at noon. Both events are open to the public.

Speaker Pelosi will be here to support the re-election of Congresswoman Kilpatrick in the Aug. 5 primary. Congressman Kilpatrick is the only Michigan Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee.

“Congresswoman Kilpatrick is a strong and effective voice for Michigan’s working families, and a dedicated and thoughtful advocate on issues critical to all Americans,” said Pelosi. “As we continue to fight to create good-paying jobs, reduce the cost of health care, improve the education of America’s children, we need Congresswoman Kilpatrick’s proven leadership in Washington now more than ever.”

The two Congressional leaders will discuss the economy, oil and gas prices, homeland security and jobs.

Congresswoman Kilpatrick is in her sixth term serving Michigan’s 13th Congressional District.
