"I will not be seeking reelection to Congress,"
""My message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power," she said. "We have made history. We have made progress. We have always led the way.""
""And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.""
Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek reelection and will complete her final year in office. Pelosi represented San Francisco for nearly 40 years and served as the first woman Speaker of the House. She urged San Francisco residents to "know your power," to remain active in democracy, and to fight for American ideals. Pelosi played major roles in California redistricting (Prop 50), the Democratic comeback in recent elections, and in passing landmark policy such as the Affordable Care Act. Her departure triggers a succession battle at home and questions about future party leadership.
