Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced Thursday she will not seek reelection, capping an historic career at 20 terms.
"I have truly loved serving as your voice in Congress," the California Democrat, 85, said in a video dedicated to her San Francisco constituents. "With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative."
Pelosi's departure will mark the end of an era in Congress. In 2007, she became the first woman elected to serve as speaker of the House.
