At least one of our major parties has been captured by politics that is not that subtle about suggesting that ‘We the people’ means a certain kind of people.
For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi served the American people and worked to make our country better.
And there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t get through this one either.
I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.
