WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) released the following statement regarding Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to step down as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after decades of strong leadership of the House Democratic Caucus.

Senator Van Hollen served closely with Speaker Pelosi as a member of the House of Representatives, including on her leadership team as House Democratic Assistant to the Leader.

“Not only did Speaker Pelosi make history as the first woman Speaker of the House, but as the most effective Speaker ever. This daughter of Baltimore has been the fearless force behind much of the progress we have made in the 21st century. “

“Her legacy is forever etched in our nation’s history. I am grateful for her service to the American people and for the opportunity to have worked alongside her on their behalf.”

  1. Quite happy to read that Pelosi is stepping down from leadership. Time for Schumer and McConnell to do the same.

      1. You don’t vote. You have no standing to complain, to agree or disagree with anyone about anything that relates to our system of government. Yet, that is all you do.

  2. The investigations Congress does should be drastically different now that the gavel is changing hands. Or, to put it another way, when someone else is the decison maker.

    1. “Republicans” campaigned on immigration, crime, and inflation. So what is the very first thing they talk about?? Hunter Biden’s laptop!!! And they, “Republicans”, wonder why they are doing so poorly at the ballot box????
