- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other top congressional Democrats are coming to Michigan to campaign for Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick.
The mother of embattled Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick faces a three-way Democratic primary on Aug. 5 in her re-election effort.
Pelosi, who is from California, will visit Grosse Pointe Farms and Wyandotte July 25.
Charles Rangel of New York will appear in Detroit July 22.
James Clyburn of South Carolina will visit Detroit Aug. 3, two days before the primary.
Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick first was elected in 1996. She typically has cruised to re-election, but her son’s legal troubles have complicated her bid this year. Kwame Kilpatrick has been indicted on perjury and other charges.
