"My vision for the future always centers around our children,"
she noted. "So anytime anybody asks me what are the three most

neighborhoods in which they live, a world at peace in which they

The chamber over which Pelosi presides has a new look circa
2019, the Year of Women. A record 36 new female representatives won seats, joining 66 female incumbents in the House for a
total of 102 women. In the Senate, 14 newly elected women were
added to the 10 already serving. That's 126 women out of 535
members of Congress, the most ever.
If you're counting, that's still a little less than 25 percent, far
from the parity many have been waiting to achieve. Nevertheless,

"My parents taught me that public service is a noble calling,
and that I had a responsibility to help those in need." Another
