Former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has announced that she will not seek reelection, bringing to a close her nearly four-decade career in the House. The move follows rumors earlier this week that she was “preparing to exit the stage,” according to NBC.
“I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking re-election to Congress,” Pelosi said, addressing her constituents in a video posted on X. “With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative as we go forward,” she said.
Pelosi praised her constituents in San Francisco for having “led the way,” encouraging them to be “full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear.”
