Mary Mapes speaking at TDWCC dinner on Oct. 20th

Dallas resident Mary Mapes has devoted her distinguished career to finding and reporting the truth. Especially during the Bush Administration, uncovering the truth has often been a daunting task. In addition to the Bush National Guard story, Mapes broke the Abu Ghraib prison torture story, for which she won a Peabody Award.

As an award-winning journalist and news producer for 25 years, the last 15 of them for The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and 60 Minutes II, Mapes has kept digging in order to accurately report the important stories we need to hear. She has waded through blacked out memos, interviewed countless witnesses afraid to speak out, and visited dangerous war-torn countries. America, and particularly Democrats, owe her many thanks for her service and determination!

Mary Mapes will be the keynote speaker at the Texas Democratic Women of Collin County 1st Annual Dinner: Countdown to Change on October 20th at 6:30 p.m. at Southfork Ranch. This event is open to the public. It will be a sit-down dinner. The silent auction will include a signed copy of Mary Mapes’ book, My Life personally addressed to a winning bidder and signed by President Clinton, a framed hand-written note from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and much more! There will even be pictures with a live Democrat donkey.
