Christine Pelosi Announces Run for California State Senate in 2028
Christine Pelosi has announced her decision to run for a California state senate seat in 2028. She made the announcement on social media, stating that she will represent San Francisco in Sacramento. Her campaign aims to fight for consumer rights, women's rights, gun violence survivors, immigrants, and vulnerable communities. Christine Pelosi is not running for her mother, Nancy Pelosi's, former position in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Nancy Pelosi Announces Retirement from Congress
Nancy Pelosi, the first woman to serve as U.S. House Speaker and a key figure in Capitol Hill for nearly 40 years, has announced her retirement and will not seek re-election. She is vacating her long-held Democratic seat in San Francisco after a 20-term congressional career. Pelosi's decision comes as the Democratic Party grapples with its aging leadership. She stepped down from her leadership position in 2022 and chose to remain in the House with the title of speaker emerita. Her announcement was made shortly after California approved Proposition 50, a redistricting measure she supported. Her departure has sparked a competitive race, with two Democrats already in the running and more expected to join.
