"As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this: San Francisco, know your power,"
"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."
"That is something I'm working for at the national level, and we are hoping we can have gender-affirming care for our trans kids,"

Nancy Pelosi announced she will not seek re-election and will retire from Congress at the end of her term in January 2027. She made the announcement in a video message on 6 November. Pelosi, 85, served as the first female Speaker of the House and led House Democrats from 2003 until 2023. She urged San Francisco to know its power and called for continued participation in democracy and defense of American ideals. Her retirement raises concerns among LGBTQ+ advocates because she worked to restore gender-affirming care for trans youth, flew the transgender flag outside her office, and publicly criticised anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
