Who is Nancy Pelosi?
Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro was born on March 26, 1940, in Baltimore, Maryland, as the only daughter and youngest of seven siblings. Her parents, both of Italian descent, were deeply involved in politics. At the time of her birth, her father was a Democratic congressman from Maryland and later became the mayor of Baltimore. Her brother, Thomas D’Alesandro III, also served as mayor of the city from 1967 to 1971.
Furthermore, her mother was actively engaged with the Democratic Party, organizing women’s groups in support of the cause. This politically charged family environment inspired Pelosi to get involved in politics at an early age, helping her father with his campaigns.

It was during her time at Trinity College that she met Paul Pelosi, who was studying at Georgetown University at the time, and they began dating.

Nancy Pelosi’s political career
Pelosi began her political career in the 1960s as an intern for Democratic Senator Daniel Brewster from Maryland. She later moved to San Francisco, California, where she formed a close relationship with Congressman Phillip Burton, representative of District 5. In 1976, she was elected to the California Democratic National Committee, a position she held until 1996. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she also held several key positions within the Democratic Party, such as chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s finance committee.
After Phillip Burton’s death in 1983, his wife, Sala Burton, took over the position and, upon deciding not to seek reelection, appointed Pelosi as her successor. This decision ensured that Burton’s supporters would back Nancy. Following Sala’s sudden death in 1987, shortly after beginning her second term, Pelosi won the special election and assumed the Congressional seat for District 5 in June of that year. Throughout her career, she represented several districts: District 5 from 1987 to 1993, District 8 from 1993 to 2013, District 12 from 2013 to 2023, and finally, District 11 since 2023.
Pelosi has held other significant roles, including Minority Leader of the House of Representatives from 2002 to 2003, and leader of the Democratic caucus in the House of Representatives since 2003. She also served as Speaker of the House for two non-consecutive terms: from 2007 to 2011 and from 2019 to 2023, becoming the first person since Sam Rayburn in 1955 to achieve this distinction. To regain the Speaker’s position, she had to accept an agreement limiting her term to four years.
One of the most notable moments of her second term as Speaker was the announcement of impeachment hearings against President Donald Trump on September 24, 2019.
