WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2012 - Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told members attending a Democratic Caucus meeting Wednesday morning that she intended to run again as minority leader of the House.
Her announcement ends speculation that the 72-year old Pelosi, who served as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007-2011, will step aside - even though she fell short of her goal of electing 25 new Democrats and regaining the Majority. She was the first woman to hold the title of Speaker and has been the highest-ranking female politician in American history.
Pelosi
has represented California’s 8th Congressional district, which
consists of about 80 percent of the San Francisco and the surrounding county,
since 1987.

Both urban and rural interests need to stick together in order for a farm bill to pass in the U.S. House of Representatives says Rep. Emanuel Cleaver in this week's Open Mic. Cleaver, whose congressional district covers both rural and urban parts of Northwest Missouri, is a former Kansas City mayor and the grandson of farmers. He is also past chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. He hopes to vote for the House farm legislation but explains why he would like to see the final bill look more like the Senate version.
