The portrait of outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was unveiled in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall. The painting was completed by the late Ronald Sherr in 2014 and has been in storage since then. Among those who paid tribute to the leadership of the nation’s first woman speaker of the House were former President Barack Obama (via video message) and former House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), and Denyce Graves sang “The House I Live In (That’s America to Me).” Speaker Pelosi in her remarks said that she hopes she is not the last woman to serve as speaker. The ceremony concluded with a prayer from Speaker Pelosi’s longtime friend Reverend Stephen Privett. Speaker Pelosi announced in November 2022 she would not be running for Democratic leadership in the 118th Congress. close
