Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she will seek reelection in 2024, despite stepping down from her leadership position last Congress.
'Now more than ever our City needs us to advance San Francisco values and further our recovery,' Pelosi wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday.
'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.'
San Francisco is experiencing a major crime wave including smash-and-grab robberies and carjackings.
In August, the San Francisco Police Department said the city had nearly 1,670 car break-ins over 30 days, and there have been nearly 10,000 thefts from vehicles in the city so far this year.
Signs can be seen throughout the city warning residents and tourists not to leave anything inside their cars, but the crime rate has remained stubbornly high.
Pelosi, who was the first-ever woman speaker, was first elected to represent the people of San Francisco, California, in 1987.
It was unclear whether the former speaker would seek reelection after her husband Paul Pelosi was attacked in their California home last fall.
A man entered their house saying he was looking for Pelosi, and then hit Paul over the head with a hammer. The incident was captured on police body camera footage.
But Pelosi said the attack on her husband wouldn't impact her decision about whether to run for reelection.

And she will win. Americans seem to have no intelligence with who they elect.
Let’s keep electing people who are ancient. Because someone new…might just bring a new idea to office. An electorate that keeps voting in the same old people are expecting them to change what they have been doing for 80 years.
They won’t. Things dont change unless things change.
No doubt that the dregs of society will re-elect this steaming pile of debris to another term.
running ???
Id like to see that ...
There is no recovery for Dan Fran Sicko.
San
Miserable political elites would have miserable retirements so they hang around the country club in DC and live off the perks paid for by US taxpayers. She’s an east coast carpetbagger masquerading like she’s a native San Fran Nan but those leftist morons vote for her in perpetuity so they get what they deserve while she gets rich off their support. SF values- Barf….
The only difference is that the soviets were happy drunks, ours are as nasty as they come.
What is San Francisco recovering from, Nancy?
Anyone, ANYONE who has been in Congress 30+ years is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Do better, San Francisco.
Maybe she is practicing for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Maybe she wants to stay in office to insulate herself from subpoenas and other issues dealing with her actions related to J6.
Helping SF’s recovery, is like saying she wants to help Biden’s with the US’s recovery. With that kind of definition of what recovery means, it’s a good thing neither Biden nor Pelosi ever worked at a hospital to help patients’ with their recoveries.
This means she knows the fix is in on rigging the election, and she’ll be Speaker again.
I think everyone over 75 should be barred from running from office it’s time for the kids to take over.
That said she has proven herself to be much more effective than most any GOP politician...
Why retire when her district is a lock.
2 more years to steal as much as she can from working folks.
Only normal balanced people know when it's time to move on.
Evil lives too damn long, and many good people die far too young.
83 what? Proof?
When not in Wash DC or traveling the world, she's sipping wine at her palace in wine country far from SF. So is Gov Newsom, her nephew. They rarely stop in SF to see how bad things have gotten.
