Issues
Education
Providing a high quality education to all of America’s students from all backgrounds and income levels is the backbone of our country.
Energy and Environment
Energy independence and combating climate change is a flagship issue for Congresswoman Pelosi.
Health Care
Access to quality, affordable health care is critical to the well-being of America, today and in the future.
HIV/AIDS
Fighting HIV/AIDS across the nation and around the world has been a personal priority of mine since my first day in office. One of my first legislative victories was assisting in the creation of the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS program.
Housing
Ensuring access to safe, affordable housing and reducing homelessness is among Congresswoman Pelosi's top priorities in Congress.
Human Rights
As Americans, we must protect human rights both at home and abroad—the right to live freely without the threat of violence or repression, the right to live with dignity and respect. Throughout our history, our international standing has rested in part on our democratic values and our commitment to human rights. Everywhere I travel, the call is clear: the world needs America to lead.
Immigration
The United States is a country made up of immigrants, and it is part of what makes us so strong and vibrant. In America, the beauty is in the mix. We must enact comprehensive immigration reform that is humane, does not divide families, and addresses the growing disconnect between our nation’s policy and the reality on the ground in cities and communities across our country.
Innovation & Technology
Nearly 50 years ago, President John Kennedy launched an initiative to safely send a man to the moon and back. He called on us to be first in engineering and science, in technology and industry – for the sake of our economic growth, our common prosperity, our national security, and our leadership across the globe.
Jobs and Economic Justice
The American people have sent a clear message to Congress—create jobs. It is imperative that Congress act now for struggling families and workers across our country without further delay, to build ladders of opportunity to reignite the American dream for the 14 million Americans out of work.
LGBT
San Francisco is blessed with a large and vibrant LGBT community and a strong history of advocacy for equal rights for all. Since my first day in Congress, ending discrimination against gays and lesbians has been a top priority.
National Security
Our nation’s leaders have no greater responsibility than ensuring the safety and security of the American people.
Retirement Security
In San Francisco alone, one in five seniors live in poverty. Like so many in our city, Americans are also facing the dismal prospect of finding their pensions increasingly at risk. These realities make saving for retirement an even greater challenge.
Transportation
When crafting our transportation options, we must work to reduce the focus on driving and increase our options for bus and rail transit, walking, biking, and transit-oriented development while creating vibrant livable communities.
