To honor Nancy Pelosi

[RockCreek]

To honor Nancy Pelosi, I think that work on a statue of her to be placed in the Capital Rotunda should begin immediately. She should know that this is being done, and not be initiated posthumously. This way, she could add her touches to it -- the way presidents have a say in their official portraits. And any statue would gain from her input. What doesn't benefit from her contribution?

It would also be a beautiful, and beautifully ironic, way to move the Rotunda past the stench of January 6th.
"Where is Nancy Pelosi?" -- Waiting for you in the Rotunda, of course.

Not that I have any say or input whatsoever, but please add a comment or rec if you agree. Maybe a power that be will be skimming through DU, and know that this community at least wants her honored now!

3. And the first Female Speaker!

From her web site, https://pelosi.house.gov/biography-0
"Nancy Pelosi is the 52nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, having made history in 2007 when she was elected the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House. Pelosi made history again in January 2019 when she regained her position second-in-line to the presidency – the first person to do so in more than six decades"

Jan 4th, 2007 was the great day that she first became Speaker. She served as Speaker from 2007 - 2011, and then again from 2019 - the present. And, of course, she served as the Minority Leader from 2011 - 2019.
