Rep. Kelly thanks Speaker Emerita Pelosi on historic public service

WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly (IL-02) thanked Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) for her historic career in Congress following her announcement that she will not seek reelection.

"For nearly 40 years, Speaker Emerita Pelosi has remained committed to fighting for her constituents and hardworking Americans across the country. She made history as the first woman to be House Speaker, then wielded her immense power to pass the Affordable Care Act, the American Rescue Plan, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. She's shown generations of women what it means to know and use their power to build a better America. Even beyond her service in Congress, I know she'll continue to protect our democracy."
