Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi put to rest speculation about her retirement and announced Friday that she will seek a 20th term as Democrats fight to regain control of the House.
“Now more than ever our city needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,” Pelosi posted on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter. “Our country needs America to show the world that our flag is still there, with liberty and justice for ALL. That is why I am running for reelection — and respectfully ask for your vote.”
Rumors about the California Democrat’s political future had been swirling since she said late last year she would step down as House Democratic leader. Her husband, Paul Pelosi, was attacked by a hammer-wielding assailant at the couple’s San Francisco home just a few weeks before her announcement.
