SAN DIEGO — ABC 10News caught up with San Diego Congressman Scott Peters Thursday, just a few hours after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that she would step down from her leadership post in the next Congress.
Peters says Pelosi's effectiveness is not just about her legislative accomplishments, which include healthcare reform and infrastructure spending. He says Pelosi had a skillful way of working with Democrats from all wings of her party. When asked how Pelosi acted behind the scenes to bring House Democrats together, Peters brought up the contentious issue of drug price reform. It's an issue Pelosi had worked on for several years. When the bill finally came up in the spring of 2021, Peters led a handful of moderate Democrats to join Republicans to block it, citing concerns about a specific provision that he felt would unfairly limit biotech companies, many of which are located in his district.
