Ticket lottery for Pope’s U.S. Congress speech broadcast
WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-San Francisco/San Mateo counties) announced has a limited amount of tickets available to constituents of the 14th Congressional District to watch the broadcast of Pope Francis when he addresses the Joint Meeting of Congress on Thursday, September 24.
