The Franklin D. Roosevelt Distinguished Public Service Awards honor individuals whose careers exemplify President Roosevelt’s extraordinary dedication to public service and seek to inspire a renewed national commitment to the principles for which FDR fought.

DPSA recipients have dedicated their lives to the public good, never limiting themselves to what seemed possible when they began. Each year, we celebrate their courage, commitment, and values.

This year’s honorees include:

Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee

Liz Shuler, Secretary-Treasurer of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO)

With special appearances by:

• The Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House

• Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Chair of the House Appropriations Committee

• Lee Saunders, President of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)

• Lonnie Stephenson, President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW)

• Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)

And musical performances by Steve Earle!
