Pelosi has written blog posts for The Huffington Post.

Pelosi has served as volunteer board member for the AIDS Memorial Grove and the New Leaders Council.

She has been named a potential successor to her mother's seat in the House by the Los Angeles Times. She is seen as a successor to her mother given Nancy's immense influence in the San Francisco district.

Democratic National Committee

Pelosi was elected to the Democratic National Committee, where she cofounded the Veterans and Military Families Council, and as of 2021 is Vice Chair for Campaigns and Elections.

In 2020, Pelosi was one of California's automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention.

Electoral college member

Pelosi was a presidential elector for the state of California in the 2016 United States presidential election. Every presidential election year, the 538 members of the electoral college meet in their state capitals on December 19 to cast the official vote for president. She helped lead the effort to inform the electors and the public about foreign interference in elections.

Personal life

Pelosi married Peter Kaufman, son of film director Philip Kaufman, on February 16, 2008. They had a daughter in March 2009. Pelosi is a baseball fan, lives within walking distance of the San Francisco Giants' stadium, and serves on the Giants Community Fund board of directors.

On March 22, 2020, Pelosi tweeted "Rand Paul's neighbor was right" in reference to an assault on Senator Rand Paul, and Twitter removed the tweet for violating its rules. Sen. Paul later cited the tweet after Pelosi's father was severely injured by a hammer-wielding assailant.
