| Nancy Pelosi, the first woman to serve as House Speaker, is retiring from Congress after nearly 40 years. | ||
| She held the position from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi was first elected in 1987, representing California's 5th district, followed by the state's 8th, 12th, and 11th districts. | ||
| Her term concludes in January 2027. | ||
| Up next, we'll show you her retirement announcement, followed by a 2022 C-SPAN discussion, looking back at Congresswoman Pelosi's career. | ||
| Dear San Francisco, we are fortunate to live in the most beautiful, remarkable place on earth. | ||
| But the true magic of San Francisco, the San Franciscans. | ||
| There's a reason why our city has always been synonymous with the future. | ||

Here we don't fear the future, we forge it. | |
| From the gold rush to the miracles of science and technology, our city has always been the cradle of innovation, buzzing with optimism and creativity. | ||
| We are a vibrant and diverse city, home to hardworking families, diligent students, and heroic veterans, and the dreams of entrepreneurs and immigrants. | ||
| From Chinatown to Japantown, from the Mission to the Film, from Hunters Point to the Castro, North Beach to the Sunset. | ||
| We are also resilient, experiencing more than our fair share of challenge. | ||
| When the Loma Prieta earthquake struck, we brought in federal support that ensured we would not just recover, but reimagine the South of Market neighborhood. | ||
| And of course, HIV AIDS tested our city to its core. | ||
| But out of our agony came action. | ||
| Under the leadership of UCSF and San Francisco General, we pioneered comprehensive community-based care, prevention, and research. | ||
| That very system served as a model as we wrote the Ryan-White Care Act, which still ensures access to life-saving medical care nationwide. | ||
| Fittingly, our city is home to the National AIDS Memorial Grove, a place of renewal where we remember the loved ones we lost. | ||
| For decades, I've cherished the privilege of representing our magnificent city in the United States Congress. | ||
| It seems prophetic now that the slogan of my very first campaign in 1987 was, a voice that will be heard. | ||

|
And it was you who made those words come true. | |
| It was the faith that you had placed in me and the latitude that you have given me that enabled me to shatter the marble ceiling and be the first woman Speaker of the House whose voice would certainly be heard. | ||
| It was an historic moment for our country and it was momentous for our community, empowering me to bring home billions of dollars for our city and our state. | ||
| With these resources, we have powered enormous progress. | ||
| For health care, from the fight against HIV AIDS to the Affordable Care Act. | ||
| For transportation, extending BART, electrifying Caltrain, creating the 3rd Street Light Rail and the Central Subway, and strengthening our iconic Golden Gate Bridge, all creating good-paying jobs. | ||
| For housing, enabling nonprofits to build affordable, low-income, community-based housing with the low-income housing tax credit. | ||
| For the environment, from protecting clean air and water, to taking action on climate, to transforming the Presidio from a military post to a national park, a model for the nation. | ||
| Of course, credit for this work also goes to our brothers and sisters in labor, and it was also made possible by the entrepreneurial spirit of our private and non-profit sectors. | ||
| We can be proud of what we have accomplished, but there's always much more work to be done. | ||
| Of course, San Francisco's impact is not confined to our city limits. | ||
| The Affordable Care Act, Wall Street reform, human rights abroad, and so many other priorities all sprang from the vision, values, and voices of San Franciscans. | ||
| Because of your trust, I was able to represent our city and our country around the world with patriotism and pride. | ||
| I say to my colleagues in the House all the time, no matter what title they have bestowed upon me, Speaker, Leader, Whip, there has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, I speak for the people of San Francisco. | ||
| I have truly loved serving as your voice in Congress, and I have always honored the song of St. Francis, Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace, the anthem of our city. | ||
| That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking re-election to Congress. | ||
| With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative. | ||
| As we go forward, my message to the city I love is this. | ||
| San Francisco, know your power. | ||
| We have made history. | ||
| We have made progress. | ||
| We have always led the way. | ||
| And now we must continue to do so by remaining full participants in our democracy and fighting for the American ideals we hold dear. | ||
| In doing so, we ensure that our city shines on as a beacon of hope, justice, and peace for the country and for generations to come. |
