“ With integrity, civility, and fiscal discipline, our New Direction for America will use commonsense principles to address the aspirations and fulfill the hopes and dreams of all Americans. That is our promise to the American people. ”

Welcome,

I'm Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. Thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you find politics as fun as I do.

There are all sorts of things to learn about our government, from how a bill becomes a law to what it's really like to be a Member of Congress. Every day Members of Congress are working to make sure that your neighborhood is safe and clean, that your school has the best teachers and supplies, and that you have good doctors and dentists to keep you healthy. As Leader, and as a mom and a grandma, I am committed to making sure you have every opportunity imaginable.

PS: You can learn more about me by reading my biography.  I work in Washington, DC during the week but spend time with my family in San Francisco on the weekends.  You can click on the maze and print it out to find out how I get from California to DC!  Click here if you want a .pdf version. 

Many children send in letters asking about my life and work in Washington, DC. (What's my favorite food, for instance. The answer is chocolate!) They also have questions about the way Congress works. I'm sure that you have lots of questions too. Fill in the form below and ask away.  Be sure and ask your parents if it's ok to use their e-mail address. I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can!

Who is the first woman to be elected to lead a party in Congress?
