Rep. Nancy Pelosi Announces Bid for Re-election to House Seat

Jake Miller Published September 9, 2023

Nancy Pelosi, the iconic figure who broke barriers as the first woman to become Speaker of the House, has declared her intention to run for re-election in her San Francisco-based House seat. Pelosi’s announcement, made on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), underscores her commitment to advancing San Francisco’s values and contributing to the nation’s recovery.

At 83 years old, Pelosi boasts a long and influential career in American politics, having first been elected to Congress in 1987. She has twice held the prestigious position of Speaker of the House but stepped aside from her leadership role when Republicans gained control of the House last year. This temporary departure from her top Democratic position fueled speculation about her potential retirement from Congress.

However, in a recent breakfast meeting with volunteers, Pelosi disclosed her plans to seek another term, as confirmed by a source familiar with her decision.

Pelosi’s journey has not been without personal challenges, including a distressing incident in which her husband, Paul Pelosi, was attacked in their home by an intruder wielding a hammer, who claimed to be seeking the former speaker. This attack occurred as police arrived at the scene and was captured on a body camera. Pelosi had previously indicated that this incident would play a role in her decision regarding retirement.

Throughout her illustrious career, Pelosi has earned a reputation as a skilled coalition builder, renowned for her ability to secure support for complex legislative initiatives. Her accomplishments include orchestrating the passage of pivotal bills such as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in 2008 and the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

Pelosi’s tenure as Speaker of the House began in 2007 and extended until 2011, during the period when Democrats took control of the chamber at the end of the George W. Bush administration. She resumed her role as Speaker in 2019 and held it until January of this year.

Following the Democrats’ loss of control in the House in 2022, Pelosi announced that she would not seek another term as the Democratic leader but pledged to continue serving in Congress. Her decision to seek re-election reflects her enduring commitment to public service and her dedication to San Francisco and the nation as a whole.
