Former Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated on Friday that she deliberate to hunt reelection to her San Francisco congressional seat.
“Now greater than ever our Metropolis wants us to advance San Francisco values and additional our restoration. Our nation wants America to point out the world that our flag remains to be there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That’s the reason I’m operating for reelection — and respectfully ask to your vote,” she stated in a publish on her marketing campaign’s Twitter/X web page.
Pelosi, 83, who holds the title of speaker emeritus, stepped down from Democratic management earlier this yr, as Republicans regained a slim majority within the Home. However she has remained in her congressional seat regardless of hypothesis that she would retire. She was first elected in 1987, and had been Democratic chief since 2003. She served two stints as speaker, from 2007 to 2011, and from 2019 to 2023.
Pelosi has been a key fundraiser for Democrats, particularly as they eye retaking the Home given Republicans slender majority. Hakeem Jeffries succeeded her as Democratic chief.
Pelosi’s announcement comes a day after Politico’s Jonathan Martin printed a profile of her, rampant with questions of what she deliberate to do subsequent.
Extra to come back.
