MALVERN >> Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic leader, will be a guest of the Chester County Democratic Women’s Leadership Initiative (CCDWLI) and will speak at the organization’s fall gala Friday, Oct. 12. The event takes place at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern.

“We are thrilled to have Democratic Congressional Leader, Nancy Pelosi, as the speaker at our annual Fall Gala,” said Michele Vaughn, CCDWLI chair and co-founder. “She will speak about the power of women in politics and the importance of electing women at all levels of government. Nancy Pelosi is not just an icon in her commitment to strengthen the middle class and her advocacy for women, she epitomizes the ideas on which this organization was founded. Nancy Pelosi is the former Speaker of the House (2007-2011), the first woman to do so in American history.”

As Democratic Leader, Nancy Pelosi has lobbied for the development of better paying jobs, access to college education and affordable health care for all, and revised energy policy that focused on cleaner, more efficient domestic alternatives.

She was instrumental in pushing for the health care reform legislation that became the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) in 2010.

Proceeds from the fall gala will strengthen the organization and help support Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in Chester County.
