Nancy Pelosi: “This new person in Michigan, we’ll see if he gets elected to the Congress.”

Today, House Democrats made history on many fronts. One milestone fills me with particular joy and pride: the election of more than 100 Democratic women to the House of Representatives.

The American people have rendered their verdict. The People’s House will carry it out.

The impact of women in Congress is measured in the progress we have delivered: better healthcare, greater economic opportunity, stronger protections for our rights and a brighter future for our children.

For nearly four decades, San Franciscans have entrusted me with the privilege of being their voice in the House.
