Career

Pelosi began her political journey as a Democratic Party volunteer in the 1960s. Over time, she earned her place in Congress, winning her first election in a 1987 special contest. Now in her 19th term, Pelosi holds the distinction of being the dean of California’s congressional delegation. Her ascent in the House Democratic Caucus was steady, culminating in her election as House minority whip in 2001 and subsequently as House minority leader a year later, making her the first woman to hold each of these positions in Congress.

In the 2006 midterm elections, Pelosi led Democrats to reclaim the House majority after 12 years, earning her the historic title of Speaker, the first woman to hold this position.

Nancy Pelosi career

Until Kamala Harris’s vice presidency in 2021, Pelosi was the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. presidential line of succession. During her tenure, Pelosi played pivotal roles in landmark legislative achievements, including the passage of the Affordable Care Act and financial reforms. Despite losing the speakership in the 2010 midterms, she continued as House minority leader.

Regaining majority control in the 2018 midterms, Democrats elected Pelosi as Speaker once again, a rare feat in congressional history. During her second speakership, she oversaw two impeachments of President Trump and collaborated on significant legislation under the Biden administration. The 2022 midterms saw Republicans regain House control, prompting Pelosi’s retirement as House Democratic leader. In recognition of her impactful leadership, on November 29, 2022, the House Democratic Caucus designated Pelosi as “Speaker Emerita.”

In a recent interview, Pelosi urged the FBI to investigate protesters advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza as part of the progressive movement pressuring the Biden administration. She stated, “For them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin’s message… This is directly connected to what he would like to see. Some of these protesters are spontaneous and sincere, but some, I think, are connected to Russia.”
