BREAKING NEWS!!! Christine Pelosi will keynote the WVYD convention on April 5 at the Charleston Civic Center
The biggest Young Dems event of the year in West Virginia just got even better. I am happy to announce that Christine Pelosi will serve as our keynote speaker during the dinner on Saturday evening at the Charleston Civic Center. Pelosi is a nationally known author, attorney, and former executive director of the California Democratic Party. She is the daughter of the first female Speaker of the House in U.S. history, Nancy Pelosi. She recently published a book entitled, "Campaign Boot Camp: Basic Training for Future Leaders."
All WVYD members attending the convention will be admitted to the Pelosi dinner free of charge. Tickets are available to the general public for $50 each by contacting Travis Mollohan at 304-345-2794 or tmollohan@hotmail.com. (Jennings Randolph Society Members will automatically receive two complimentary tickets to the dinner and pre-reception with Christine Pelosi.) The official invitation for the general public can be found at:
