Representative ] died in ] and was succeeded by his wife, ]. In late ], Sala became ill with ] and decided not to run for reelection in 1988, and suggested that Pelosi run for the seat. Sala died on ], ], just a month after being sworn in for a second full term. Pelosi won a special election to succeed her, narrowly defeating San Francisco Supervisor ], and took office on ], ]. She was elected to a full term in 1988 and re-elected ten times, receiving 76–86% of the vote each time. | |||
Pelosi represents one of the safest Democratic districts in the country. Democrats have held the seat since 1949, and ], who currently make up only 13 percent of registered voters in the district, have not made a serious bid for the seat since the early 1960s. Pelosi has kept this tradition going. Since her initial victory in 1987, she has received at least 75% of the vote and has declined to participate in candidates' debates.<ref>Edward Epstein: “,” ''San Francisco Chronicle'', ], ], p. B-1, retrieved ], ].</ref> Nevertheless, Pelosi's politics are more conservative than many San Francisco voters, which has led to some conflicts with her constituents.<ref> Erin McCormick: “,” ''San Francisco Chronicle'', ], ], p.

In the House, she served on the ] and ] Committees, and was the ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee for two years. | |||
===Democratic Party leadership=== | |||
In 2001, Pelosi was elected the ], second-in-command to Minority Leader ] of ]. She was the first woman in U.S. history to reach that position. Since then, she has campaigned for candidates in 30 states and in 90 Congressional districts. | |||
In 2002, after Gephardt resigned as minority leader to seek the Democratic nomination in the ], Pelosi was elected to replace him, becoming the first woman to lead a major party in the House. | |||
===Political action committee fined=== | |||
In October of 2003, Pelosi's fund-raising committee was fined $21,000 for illegally accepting donations over federal limits. This followed criticism that she had previously used multiple PACs to illegally exceed the limits.<ref>USATODAY.com, , February 11, 2004.</ref> | |||
===Democratic nomination and election to Speaker of the House=== | |||
] with Vice President ] and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the 2007 ].]] | |||
On ], ], Pelosi was unanimously chosen as the Democratic candidate for Speaker, effectively making her Speaker-elect. Pelosi supported her longtime friend, ] of ] for the position of ], the second-ranking post in the House Democratic caucus, over ] ] of ], who had been her second-in-command since 2003. Pelosi and Hoyer had a somewhat frosty relationship dating back to 2001, when they ran against each other for minority whip. However, Hoyer was elected as House Majority Leader over Murtha by a margin of 149-86 within the caucus. Murtha, the "unindicted co-conspirator" in the Abscam bribery scandal, lost despite receiving vigorous support from Pelosi. <ref name="CNN">{{cite news | |||

==Speaker of the House== | |||
Nancy Pelosi defeated Rep. ] with 233 votes compared to his 202 votes in the election for Speaker of the House. In her speech to Congress she stated: | |||
<blockquote>"I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship, and look forward to working with you on behalf of the American people. In this House, we may belong to different parties, but we serve one country."<ref name=110speech>SFGate.com (2006). . Retrieved January 6, 2007.</ref></blockquote> | |||
During her speech, she discussed the historical importance of being the first female to hold the Speaker's position: | |||
<blockquote>"This is a historic moment - for the Congress, and for the women of this country. It is a moment for which we have waited more than 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and granddaughters, today, we have broken the ]."<ref name=110speech/></blockquote> | |||
She also spoke on Iraq as the major issue facing the 110th Congress while incorporating some Democratic Party beliefs: | |||
<blockquote>"The election of 2006 was a call to change - not merely to change the control of Congress, but for a new direction for our country. Nowhere were the American people more clear about the need for a new direction than in Iraq. The American people rejected an open-ended obligation to a war without end."<ref name=110speech/></blockquote> | |||
===The "Hundred Hours"=== | |||
{{main|100-Hour Plan}} | |||
Prior to the U.S. ], Pelosi announced a plan for action: If elected, she and the newly-empowered Democratic caucus would push through most of its program during the ] of the 110th Congress' term. This refers to business hours rather than clock time, and began on the Tuesday (January 9, 2007) after the swearing-in ceremony on January 4th. | |||
The origin for the name "first hundred hours" is a play on words derived from former Democratic ] ]'s promise for quick action on the part of government (to combat the ]) during his ] in office. ], the former Republican Speaker, had a similar 100-day agenda to implement the ]. | |||
===Opposition to Iraq troop surge of 2007=== | |||
{{Main|Iraq troop surge of 2007}} | |||
On January 5, 2007 reacting to suggestions from President Bush’s confidantes that he would increase troop levels in Iraq (which he later announced in a speech a few days later) Pelosi joined with Senate Majority Leader ] to condemn the plan. They sent Bush a letter saying, “there is no purely military solution in Iraq. There is only a political solution. Adding more combat troops will only endanger more Americans and stretch our military to the breaking point for no strategic gain. Rather than deploy additional forces to Iraq, we believe the way forward is to begin the phased redeployment of our forces in the next four to six months, while shifting the principal mission of our forces there from combat to training, logistics, force protection and counter-terror.”<ref>{{cite web|url= http://speaker.gov/newsroom/pressreleases?id=0021|date=01/05/2007| title=Congressional Leaders Call on President to Reject Flawed Iraq Troop Surge|author=Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV)}} Retrieved on Jan. 24, 2007</ref> | |||
===Failure to disclose role in family charity=== | |||
On January 29, 2007, Speaker Pelosi and two other prominent Democrats came under fire for failing to disclose their positions as officers of family charities. This violated a law requiring members of Congress to disclose such positions. Brendan Daly, spokesman for Speaker Pelosi, called the failure to report the position she has held since 1992 "an oversight."<ref name=famchar>USATODAY.com, , January 29, 2007.</ref> | |||
===Jet request controversy=== | |||
In February 2007, it was revealed that ] ] had requested a jet (if available) from the ] for Speaker Pelosi for non-stop trips between ] and her home in ].<ref name="sgt">. Retrieved on ].</ref> Pelosi and her aides stated that they did not care what type of plane she would be given as long as it could make non-stop flights, citing security and refueling concerns in coast-to-coast travel with the ] jet of her predecessor, ] Republican ]. Pelosi denied that the request originated with her and called it a "myth" and a "game" talked about by Congressional Republicans.<ref>.
