WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) issued the following statement after attending Speaker Pelosi’s announcement on the House floor:

“Speaker Pelosi has been the most effective Speaker of the House in American history, breaking barriers, fighting hard for workers and families, and serving as a mentor to many. Her grit, grace, unshakeable faith, and strategic brilliance have helped move our nation forward, and her stewardship of the Speaker’s gavel has delivered meaningful results for our most vulnerable communities in the Massachusetts 7th, especially women and girls.
