(WASHINGTON) — U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) has announced she will not seek reelection.
Pelosi was first elected to Congress in 1987. She made history as the House’s first female speaker in 2007. She remains the only woman to have held the speaker’s title.
The announcement comes after a ballot measure in California passed that redraws the state’s congressional map to favor Democrats ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
