Wasserman Schultz on Pelosi Stepping Down as Democratic Leader
From cleaner drinking water in the Everglades, to affordable life-saving medicines for all our seniors, you were always a true friend to Florida. And as the first woman to wield the gavel in the House of Representatives, every little girl now sees through your eyes, that there are no limits to what she can accomplish.
“A hero, mentor and friend, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, your relentless dedication to the American people has made countless lives better, and our union, far more perfect. From cleaner drinking water in the Everglades, to affordable life-saving medicines for all our seniors, you were always a true friend to Florida. And as the first woman to wield the gavel in the House of Representatives, every little girl now sees through your eyes, that there are no limits to what she can accomplish. Not even a once-in-a-century pandemic, two presidential impeachments or insurrection slowed you down. It was the privilege of a lifetime to serve alongside such a tenacious and courageous pioneer. Thank you for your unwavering support, friendship, and love, Madam Speaker.”
