Dear Friends,

Thank you for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you, our VIPS - our volunteers in politics, in our ongoing engagement For the People. Thank you for being a constant source of new fresh ideas and political activism to help Democrats deliver and defend Democracy.

Thank you for giving me the privilege to represent our City and our San Francisco values in the Congress: human rights, reproductive justice, LGBTQ equality, respect for immigrants, and care for each other. When people ask me "What are the three most important issues facing the Congress?" I always say the same thing: our children; our children; our children. Their health, their education, the housing and economic security of their families, a clean safe environment in which they can thrive, and a world in peace where all are welcome and in which they can reach their fulfillment. That is my "why" I am in Congress - for the children. That is my story. That is my song. As you hear me say, when you are in the arena you have to be able to take a punch, and throw a punch, for the children.

My first words on the floor of the House were to fight against HIV/AIDS: to fight the disease and discrimination. Working together we passed the Affordable Care Act, strengthened Social Security, Medi-care and Medi-caid, lowered prescription drug prices, and now we are fighting COVID with equity.

In San Francisco, climate is an ethic not an issue. Education, the economy and the environment are all a part of how we address the climate crisis: creating good paying green union jobs, affordable housing, clean energy infrastructure, transportation justice, and educating the next generation to succeed in safe schools with 21st century skills.

Our safe communities require gun violence prevention, addressing the root causes of crime, and supporting law enforcement with justice in policing.

Our vision for a world at peace requires a strong Democracy at home and an example to the world. We are grateful to our men and women in uniform, veterans, and military families - and honor their sacrifice with our insistence on securing voting rights, an end to big dark money in politics, and amplifying the voice of the grassroots.

While we have made progress, much more needs to be done to improve people's lives. Our Democracy is at risk because of assaults on the truth, the assault on the U.S. Capitol, and the state-by-state assault on voting rights. This election is crucial: nothing less is at stake than our Democracy.

We don’t agonize, we organize.

That is why I am running for re-election to Congress and respectfully seek your support. I would be greatly honored by it, and grateful for it.

Thank you,

NANCY

Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.

As the top Democrat in the House, she's fighting to help working families and protect America from the dangerous agenda of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy.

We know you're getting a lot of emails -- but it's only because what we're facing right now as a country is so important.

Nancy is committed to doing whatever it takes to elect a record-breaking number of Democrats in the next election and beyond. Can we count on your support?
