“I’m endlessly grateful for all of life’s blessings.”

That’s what Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the house floor on Thursday when she announced she would no longer seek a leadership position in Congress. Pelosi said the time had come for a new generation to assume that role.

Listening to her speak, I witnessed a woman who was grateful for what was and who is looking forward to what will be. I have deep respect for Speaker Pelosi. She’s a mother, a grandmother, a wife, a skilled political operative, a trailblazer, and a legendary figure in American politics.
