Pelosi has been a member of Congress for more than 35 years and has been fighting for the people by working to lower costs, increase paychecks, and create jobs for American families. She is the chief architect of generation-defining legislation under two Democratic administrations, including the Affordable Care Act and the American Rescue Plan. Pelosi has been a force for accountability, transparency, and participation in government. Under her leadership, the House enacted the toughest ethics reform legislation in the history of the Congress, including the creation of an independent ethics panel. Pelosi has also been a staunch champion of Americas national security and a respected voice abroad in promoting democratic values. Following the November 2022 midterm elections, in which the Democratic Party narrowly lost control of the House to the Republicans, Pelosi announced that she would step down as leader of the House Democrats but would remain a member of Congress. Pelosi is currently running for reelection in the US House next November.
