Writers Bloc with Senator Amy Klobuchar, “The Joy of Politics” | May 24

Wednesday, May 24, 2023 — 7:30 pm

In case you missed it, Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota ran for President in 2020. When she dropped out of the race, she threw her unwavering support to Joe Biden in his race against Donald Trump. Senator Klobuchar has sponsored hundreds of bills, with a knack for backing legislation that has become law. She has sponsored legislation on dozens of issues, including gun violence prevention, the opioid crisis, expansion of veterans education and job opportunities, antitrust and banking industry bills, and so many more. Senator Klobuchar’s exultant new memoir, The Joy of Politics: Surviving Cancer, a Campaign, a Pandemic, An Insurrection, and Life’s Other Unexpected Curveballs, is the story of an exceptional woman who strives for humor and grace in the face of personal peril, professionally challenging relationships in the Senate, and some heartbreak. The Joy of Politics is resplendent in Klobuchar’s signature wit, compassion, and sobering take on the state of American politics and democracy.

This talk will be moderated by Jay Leno, host of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno for twenty years. He’s a stand-up guy, a stand-up comedian, author, a car builder and mechanic.
