Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House and Democratic representative from California, announced publicly on Friday her intention to run for reelection in 2024. Currently, Pelosi is 83 years old.

“Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery. 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.”

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now contending for her 20th term in the House of Representatives. This is her first reelection bid since Representative Hakeem Jefferies (D-NY) succeeded her as leader of the House Democratic Caucus a year ago.

There has been speculation within the Democratic Party regarding her potential candidacy for the 11th District in San Francisco, California, up until this point. Her recent announcement appears to have effectively resolved any unanswered questions and may have prevented a competitive selection process for the position.
