Freelance Speechwriter
Sometimes the mayor of the country’s second-largest city reaches out to your writing group because she’s just been booked for the 24th Annual LA Political Roast in support of the American Diabetes Association and has less than two days to prepare.
And in cases like that, you pause your cross-country road trip in Buffalo, find a coffee shop that allows dogs and has WiFi, hop into a virtual writer’s room, and bang out the speech that had all of city hall talking.
Mayor Bass brought down the house, raised money for a good cause, got in a few good barbs about Rick Caruso (boo hiss), and didn’t even notice that her speechwriters had basically no idea who her main target, City Council President Pro Tempore Marqueece Harris-Dawson, even is.
