Nancy Pelosi plugs in the Chevrolet Volt at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show

Nancy Pelosi, the outgoing House Speaker, will be coming back to the Detroit Auto Show next week to tout recovery of Detroit automakers.

“A strong American manufacturing base is essential to our national security and competitiveness, and when we make it in America, our workers have a chance to make it in America,” Pelosi said in a statement Tuesday night. “Detroit is at the center of our efforts to create the jobs of the future, grow a clean, green economy, and strengthen our economy.”

Pelosi promised to return to Detroit after her visit to the show in January 2010 when General Motors and Chrysler weren’t in such a bright spot.

The Republicans won control of the House in November.
