The honorable Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in Seattle yesterday with fellow Representatives Jay Inslee, Norm Dicks, and Jim McDermott reconnecting with key Washington constituents and urging support for the Darcy Burner campaign. At the fundraiser held at the Washington Athletic Club’s Crystal Ballroom, she delivered a “we’re in sync” message and expressed optimism for changes a growing democratic majority in both houses would bring. Congressman Jay Inslee from our district gave Speaker Pelosi a children’s book which gave her an opportunity to talk about our country’s responsibility to turn over a better, more capable and respectable nation to the younger generation.
As political visits go, agendas are full and brisk and this one was no different. She began the day at the Veterans Hospital, attended the fundraiser and made time to participate in a video for the Burner campaign – all in just few hours. Staffers for political figures get most of the credit for arranging and putting on the events – sometimes with very short timelines! They are always busy and purposeful while gracious and accommodating. Their common trait is they never forget a face and the name that goes with it!
