[[link removed]] We are also thrilled to announce our keynote speaker for the 5th Annual Obama Gala -- Grace Meng.
Grace Meng represents New York’s 6th Congressional District located in Queens, New York. She was born and raised in Queens as the daughter of immigrants and has never forgotten where she came from or who she fights for.
As a child growing up in the most diverse county in America, Grace quickly came to believe that every person deserves a seat at the table. Whether young or old, rich or poor, she believes every voice deserves to be heard. That conviction prompted Grace to begin her professional career as a public interest lawyer and serve in the New York State Assembly before running for Congress.
In Congress, Grace has been ranked the 8th most-effective legislator in the Democratic Party (according to the Center for Effective Lawmaking), while one of the youngest Democrats in Congress. Grace continues to advocate for inclusive policies for often overlooked communities. She serves on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, responsible for funding every federal agency, program, and project. Grace fights for federal programs that benefit women and children, and even co-founded the Bipartisan Congressional Kids’ Safety Caucus. She is a leading voice on food safety, clean water, and consumer protection for families.
