WASHINGTON – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will hit Chicago in May to keynote Rep. Jan Schakowsky’s “Ultimate Women’s Power Lunch” fundraiser, a major annual event for the Evanston Democrat.
The “power lunch,” to be May 6 at the Hilton Chicago, 720 S. Michigan Ave., has evolved into a networking event attracting a variety of Democratic candidates, elected and appointed officials and activists.
Pelosi is the first female speaker and “women are so energized and empowered by watching this powerful woman actually stand up to this president,” Schakowsky said.
