My Dear Madam Speaker,

I was touched, saddened and gratified by the words you chose when announcing your decision to step aside from leadership of the House Democratic Caucus. Even as you spoke, your leadership glowed. You stated that it is time for a next generation to step into leadership roles, but that can only occur when others of our generation step up to step aside.

And while it is, indeed, time for a next generation to step into leadership roles, I join those who believe that no one will stand at that hallowed dais and replace your drive, intelligence, humor, respect for the institution and love of country. Know that it has been my privilege to watch and appreciate from afar the tenure of not only the first female Speaker of the House, but arguably, the most astute and capable Speaker that Congress has ever known.

Heartfelt best wishes in all your future endeavors,

I am so tired of the “right” vilifying powerful women. Nancy Pelosi has more intellect and courage than any of the Republicans. I’m so grateful for her service and commitment to our country. The same applies to Hillary Clinton and AOC.
