“There’s no honor that you can give me that fills me with more pride, with more joy, than stepping on the floor of the house and saying ‘I speak for the people of San Francisco,” Pelosi said.
Pelosi ebulliently flexed her San Francisco roots Tuesday as she accepted a formal commendation from San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, who praised her for her “lasting impact on hundreds of millions of Americans.”
Pelosi served two stints as Speaker of the House, first from 2007 to 2011 and then again when Democrats regained control of the House from from 2019 to 2013. In between, she was the House Minority Leader.“All of us want to pretend to be Nancy Pelosi – cool as a cucumber,” said Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin.
She reflected on her involvement in politics, including her appointment to the Library Commission by former Mayor Joseph Alioto to her first speech following her election to Congress, in which she bluntly addressed the HIV/AIDS crisis devastating San Francisco.
