WASHINGTON (November 6, 2025) – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi announced today she will leave Congress at the end of this term. The following is reaction from Manish Bapna, president and CEO of the NRDC Action Fund:
“Speaker Pelosi has been fighting for a better America every day of her historic career on Capitol Hill, including as the first woman elected to serve as Speaker of the House. Her firm belief that a government of the people should serve the people has helped to expand vital protections that have made our air and water safer, made families healthier, and secured public lands for the benefit of all Americans. We will miss her tireless devotion to these causes, to robust climate solutions and to international environmental issues that impact millions around the globe, but her legacy of determination in the face of immense challenges will be the spark that underpins our progress moving forward. Thank you, Madame Speaker.”
