Christine Pelosi, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, announced her candidacy for the California state Senate on Monday — passing on a potential run to replace her retiring mother in Congress.

The younger Pelosi said in a video statement posted to X that she will “organize power for the people,” also pledging to fight for “women’s rights” and “consumer rights” if she is elected to California’s state Senate. The campaign launch comes after the former Speaker announced on Thursday that she is not running for reelection to the House in 2026, spurring rumors that her daughter could be a potential contender for the open seat in Congress.
