From San Francisco to the Speaker’s Chair — The Rise and Farewell of Nancy Pelosi

“End of an Era: Nancy Pelosi to Retire in 2027 After Nearly Four Decades in Power”Ms. Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, stand next to her official portrait as it is unveiled in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol.
After 39 years representing San Francisco — and making history as America’s first and only female House Speaker — Nancy Pelosi says she’s stepping down.
At 85, Pelosi leaves behind a legacy that shaped modern U.S. politics: from Obamacare and climate laws to two impeachments of Donald Trump.
Loved by Democrats, loathed by conservatives, and respected by both for her political skill — her exit marks the closing of one of Washington’s most powerful chapters.

“With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service,” Pelosi said.
