Question of the day
Tuesday, Mar 7, 2023 - Posted by Rich Miller
* Press release…
Democrats for the Illinois House and House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch kicked off Women’s History Month with a bang. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi joined the group in Chicago for their first annual Women’s History Month event, Women in Power. […]
Pelosi took questions from the group and gave sound advice on how to balance it all.
“When you raise five children…you can do anything,” she said. “It takes management, it takes diplomacy, it takes quartermaster, it takes transportation, it takes homework. Oh my gosh. You get so much energy from that. So much management of time and all the rest. I think that was my best training.”
Pelosi was awarded the Democrats for the Illinois House 2023 Women In Power award alongside Illinois House Majority Leader Robyn Gabel, Speaker Pro Tempore Jehan Gordon Booth, Deputy Majority Leader Lisa Hernandez, Assistant Majority Leader Natalie Manley, Assistant Majority Leader Kelly Burke, Assistant Majority Leader Barbara Hernandez, and Majority Conference Chair Theresa Mah.
