Pelosi elected number-two
leader of Democratic party
Highest position ever filled by a female in Congm
lursday, Oct*
meric
WASHINGTON (AP) —
California Rep. Nancy Pelosi
won the race Wednesday for the
No. 2 House Democratic leader
and will become the top-ranking
woman ever in Congress. Her
election sparked debate over
whether she will help or hinder
her party.
Pelosi, a liberal eight-term
veteran from San Francisco,
outpolled rival Rep. Steny
Hoyer of Maryland by 1 18-95 in
a closed-door, secret ballot vote.
She will take the post of
Democratic whip on Jan. 15
when Rep. David Bonior steps
down from that job and concen
trates on running for governor of
Michigan.
Both candidates claimed to
be best positioned to lead their
party back to the House majori
ty it last held in 1994. Pelosi, 61,
said she sought no votes on the
basis of her gender, but clearly
many of her colleagues felt it
was time for a woman to enter
the leadership circle.
“This is difficult turf to win
on for anyone, but for a woman
breaking ground here it was a
tough battle,” Pelosi said after
the vote. “We made history.
Now we have to make
progress.”
Pelosi’s triumph brought
praise from groups that tradi
tionally support Democrats.
“We don’t get to break a glass
ceiling in Congress very often,”
said Kim Gandy, president of the
National Organization for
Women.
Supporters said Pelosi pres
ents Democrats with an appeal
ing package.
Her base is in one of the
country’s more affluent areas,
and supporters praised Pelosi’s
abilities as a fund raiser. Aides
said she has raised $1.6 mil
lion for Democratic candidates
this year.
She also is being counted on
to enhance the party’s ability to
attract women.
“Most campaigns run on
the energy of women,” said
Rep. George Miller, D-
California, who helped run
Pelosi’s leadership campaign.
“This is a major, major step
for the future of this party.”
Other lawmakers from both
parties wondered whether Pelosi
could overcome the label of
being a San Francisco liberal.
“It makes me feel good as a
liberal,” said Rep. James Moran,
D-Virginia, who supported
Hoyer. “But I’m not sure it does
a lot for our future.”
“She’s very appealing to the
liberal base of her party,” said
Ed Gillespie, a Republican
consultant who once worked in
the House. “But her liberal
votes are not likely to be very
appealing to the vast majority
of the public.”
Pelosi dismisses such argu
ments, saying of the San
Francisco liberal tag: “When
people pose that, they’re think
ing in old ways.”
In private, several Democrats
said they worried that Pelosi
would push House Minority
Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo.,
into a more confrontational
stance with President Bush and
congressional Republicans. The
two parties have struggled lately
to present a united front follow
ing last month’s terrorists
attacks.

Aides said Pelosi’s
coalition consisted of ovi

lawmakers and liberals.
She also won enough vos

NEWS IN BRIEF
Condit seeks support
for re-election
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Gary Condit said
Wednesday he is gathering signatures that
would be needed to launch a campaign but
stopped short of announcing a re-election bid.
Condit’s popularity dropped sharply in the
months after Levy, the 24-year-old federal
intern, disappeared in Washington and her
relationship with the 53-year-old, married
congressman was disclosed.
Police say they do not consider Condit a
suspect, but they have been critical of what
they have described as his halting coopera
tion with their investigation.
When Congress returned from its August
recess, speculation was that Condit would
retire at the end of his term next year. Condit
has since opened a campaign office in his dis
trict, and Richie Ross, his political consultant,
said Condit would gather petition signate
— one way to qualify for the ballot — to#'
his support. In addition to getting 3,091^
natures, a candidate also can pay atol
$1,500 to get on the ballot by the 0«,1
deadline. Condit has collected signatures'll
the past.
“Basically, you get your signatures and
then you make a declaration,” Conditsaid
