Congressman Huffman Statement on Retirement Announcement of Speaker Pelosi
San Rafael, CA – Today, U.S. Representative Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) released the following statement on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s retirement:
“Trailblazer, mentor, Speaker, role model, legend. Nancy Pelosi has served countless roles in her time in public service, inspiring millions and making history while improving lives across this country and around the world.
“Serving the people of the Bay Area alongside Speaker Pelosi has been the privilege and honor of a lifetime. There has been no shortage to her generosity of spirit, joining me countless times in my district to show her support for the people of California’s North Coast. From bringing transformative infrastructure investments to San Francisco and the Bay Area, fighting for our climate for future generations, protecting the Bay’s treasured ecosystems and public spaces, defending democracy, and securing affordable health care for millions of Americans, the time I’ve spent learning from and working with Nancy Pelosi to deliver for our community has been awe inspiring.
“Through her passion for climate and environmental issues, she forged a new era of climate action I am fortunate to be a part of – including creating the first-of-its-kind Select Committee on the Climate Crisis to showing America is still all-in at the three international COPs we attended. It will be my greatest honor to carry this torch forward to ensure our children have a safe, bright future.
“Nancy Pelosi is the greatest Speaker of all time. The People’s House will never see another leader like her, and I send her all my gratitude as she embarks on this new chapter.”
