--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Media Advisory:
WHAT
Rep.
John Delaney (D-MD), the first declared candidate for president in
2020, will participate in an author talk and reception to discuss his
new book The Right Answer: How We Can Unify Our Divided Nation,
in which he delivers a passionate call for bipartisan action,
entrepreneurial innovation, and a renewed commitment to the American
idea. The son of a union electrician and grandson of an immigrant,
Delaney grew up believing that anything was possible in America. Before
he was 50, he founded, built and then sold two companies worth billions
of dollars. Driven by a deep desire to serve, in 2012 he stepped away
from his businesses, ran for Congress, and won. Now he has a new
mission: unifying our divided nation and guiding it to a brighter future.

WHY
Delaney’s new book discusses his passion for serving and
the journey that shaped his desire to run for office. In the book, he
writes candidly about the often frustrating experience of working on
Capitol Hill, where many of his colleagues care more about scoring
political points than improving the lives of their fellow Americans. As
a boy, Delaney learned the importance of working hard, telling the truth
and embracing compromise. As an entrepreneur, he succeeded because he
understood the need to ensure opportunity for all, focus on the future,
and think creatively about problem-solving. During the book talk, he
will discuss what motivates him to serve and how his book illustrates
the potency of these principles with vivid stories from his childhood,
his career in business, his family, and life as a politician.
HOW
The author talk is free to attend. Seating is on a first
come, first served basis. Media interested in covering the event should
