I first met Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi in 1987, her first year in Congress. Most weekday evenings on the Hill, during that time, included receptions by hosts of lobbying groups, organizations, associations, and the ever-present fundraisers. Living on a congressional salary at that time, I was able to get many free meals — and drinks.
