A long-serving political activist and renowned community advocate in Milan she looks forward to bringing Democrats Abroad Milan and its many talented and fired-up members to enthusiastic participation and active expression in the forefront of Milan!

Nancy is a true blue democrat who totally embraces the ideals of the democratic party, she has lived in Italy for 30 years.
