Nancy Pelosi made history in November 2002 when House Democrats elected her to be the first woman to lead a major political party. She was elected the first Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2007. While in her second term as Speaker of the House, Pelosi continues to make history.
With her strong leadership, Pelosi has proved to unify her Democratic Party and has helped pass important legislation. Pelosi has worked with President Obama and legislative efforts for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the recent Healthcare Reform Bill.
According to a congressional scholar at the Brookings Institution, Thomas Mann, “She's probably gained the reputation of one of the strongest and most effective speakers in decades.”
With all of this talk about the new Healthcare Reform Bill, you might be looking for answers about the goals of the Democratic Party. For more information about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the 111th Congress, go to www.speaker.gov/
