Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is seeking reelection to her California congressional seat despite facing uncertainty after stepping back from House Democratic leadership and dealing with her husband Paul Pelosi being attacked by a hammer-wielding assailant last year.
The 83-year-old announced her intent to run for reelection in the San Francisco district on Friday.

“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. -Nancy,” she tweeted.

After the 2022 midterm elections, Pelosi said she would not seek reelection as Democratic House leader. “I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” she said. “For me, the hour has come for a new generation to lead the Democratic caucus that I so deeply respect.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), 53, took on the role of top House Democrat.
