Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi
é uma política dos Estados Unidos, membro do Partido Democrata e representante do oitavo distrito de San Francisco, Califórnia na Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos desde 1987.
Líder dos democratas na câmara baixa estadunidense desde 2003, foi a primeira e única mulher a aceder a tão elevado posto. Em 2006 foi classificada como a 48ª mulher mais poderosa do mundo segundo a revista Forbes.
Após a vitória dos democratas, na eleição legislativa de 7 de novembro de 2006, formando a maioria da câmara baixa, Nancy Pelosi foi escolhida para presidente da Câmara dos Representantes , tornando-se assim a primeira mulher e, de novo, a única a ocupar o cargo -- até hoje, Pelosi é a mulher de grau mais alto na hierarquia política na história dos Estados Unidos --. Exercendo o cargo entre 4 de Janeiro de 2007 a 3 de janeiro de 2011.
Em 17 de novembro de 2010, Pelosi foi eleita a líder Partido Democrata e, portanto, foi eleita a Líder da Minoria na Câmara, cargo que ocupará até 2017, deixando o cargo de presidente da Câmara, após as Eleições de 2010, quando o Partido Republicano passou a controlar a Câmara.Em 2009, ela foi denunciada por uso de avião de uso exclusivo da força aérea americana para voos particulares. Mas, nunca foi indiciada juridicamente, nem processada. Assessor de Pelosi responde às acusações da Mídia, Judicial Watch, como "ridícula" e "mal-informada". A Casa Branca já havia estabelecido, após os ataques de 9/11, quando quer que os aviões estivessem disponíveis, a "Speaker of the House" voasse neles, de Washington DC ao seu distrito na Califórnia, por medidas de segurança, uma vez que, na ocasião das alegações da Judicial Watch Org., Pelosi era a segunda na linha da Presidência dos Estados Unidos.
