Think the spate of retirement announcements from senior House Democrats is going to drive Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi out of office?
Think again.
Im running, the California Democrat said in a statement forwarded to reporters by her office on Wednesday afternoon. Ive already started the paperwork process. My work is not finished.

Since entering the Democratic leadership in 2002, Leader Pelosi has raised more than $363 million for Democrats, said a Pelosi spokeswoman on Thursday afternoon in an email to CQ Roll Call. This cycle the Leader has raised $35.5 million (as of January 1, 2014), and she traveled to 50 cities in 2013. Pelosi has raised $26.7 directly for the DCCC, already fulfilling her cycle goal of $25 million and has paid her $800,000 dues in full in November.
