A Toast to the Speaker

San Diego Democrats for Equality Welcome Our Speaker Home

The Club's reception for Speaker Atkins was held Saturday at Bamboo Lounge with an appreciative crowd on hand to toast Toni in her new position. Congresswoman Susan Davis, Councilmember Ed Harris, SDUSD Board President Kevin Beiser, former Assemblymember Howard Wayne and DNC member Jess Durfee dropped by for the toast along with a healthy contingent from Pt. Loma, Clairemont and La Jolla Democratic Clubs.

Toni thanked the Club for its support and let us know that her wife was keeping her grounded in her new position.  Asking if she had to call Toni Madam Speaker, when Toni said yes, Jennifer told her, "well Madam Speaker, take out the trash".

As the first Speaker from San Diego and the first lesbian to hold the office, Toni is breaking through glass ceilings all over.  San Diego Democrats for Equality is proud of our fellow member and former Club Vice-President.  We'll be behind her with whatever firsts she chooses to pursue in the future after her successful tenure in the Assembly.
