Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-08) attended a 250-person fundraiser 4/21 for Rep. Tim Walz (D). And at a veterans forum, Pelosi repeatedly praised Walz for his work on a House veterans cmte. She "thanked Walz for his 'great leadership in the Congress on issues about America keeping our promises to our veterans.'" MN GOP Chair Ron Carey said that since Walz "voted to 'rubber stamp Nancy Pelosi's liberal agenda,'" her presence at a Walz fund-raiser was not a surprise. Carey: "All the big money in the world can't obscure the fact that Walz is promoting San Franciso values, not southern Minnesota values" (Wente, Duluth News Tribune, 4/22).
