17 (tie). Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) - $13 million Pelosi's fortune comes mostly from real estate and business investments. Her husband, Paul Pelosi, has wide real estate, stock, and bond holdings, including San Francisco condos, a Napa Valley vineyard, a hotel resort in Rutherford, Calif., and at least a $1 million investment in a San Francisco limousine business.

Pelosi's 1996 stock purchases included Compurad Inc., Fritz Companies Inc., Fusion Medical Tech Inc., Hambrecht and Quist Group, Getty Communications, Odwalla Inc., and Vanguard Airlines Inc. Her spouse cashed in more than $50 million worth of common stock in Container Programs Inc., an equipment leasing company. Her husband owns a cable TV services operating company, a restaurant operating company, and much, much more. She reports joint holdings of at least $10.6 million.

Nancy Pelosi was Nancy D'Alesandro from Baltimore Maryland. Both her father and brother were mayors of Baltimore. Her Father Thomas Jr. was mayor from 1947 - 59 and was a congressman before that from 1939 - 47. Her brother was mayor from 1967 - 71.

Nothing juicy but hope it helps.

Very curious to see what limosine business he owns, and with all their real estate holdings, if they are in fact slumlords, or if they aren't, how much their apartments are going for now, whether it's for non-section 8 types and wealthy types.

17. (tie) Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), $16 million

Judging by her personal financial statement, the new Minority Whip has as much a command over her personal finances as she does her colleagues.

Pelosi owes much of her wealth to the success and savvy investments of her businessman husband, Paul, who has diverse holdings in everything from resort hotels to wine estates and the limousine business.

This year the couple's assets jumped from around $14 million to $16 million, with the largest asset being their St. Helena vineyard and residences valued at between $5 million and $25 million.

Other sizable assets include their personal residence on K Street in Washington valued at between $1 million to $5 million, several million dollars' worth of commercial property in San Francisco, and her husband's real estate partnership, worth between $1 million and $5 million. The couple also have dozens of other stock and real estate investments, most of them in Paul Pelosi's name.

The couple also purchased a new town home last December in Norden, Calif., worth between $1 million and $5 million.

The recent ascension of House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has dramatically boosted the House leadership's overall wealth. She reported assets of at least $ 23.2 million.

Much of Pelosi's wealth stems from her husband, Paul, an investment banker. Pelosi, known for showering her aides and colleagues with gourmet meals, frequently quips at the outset, "Thank God for Paul Pelosi!"

Pelosi's assets include not only her D.C. waterfront apartment, worth at least $ 1 million, but also a $ 1 million to $ 5 million investment in the Napa Valley resort Auberge du Soleil; money in a golf resort; stock in Salon.com and Guru.com; and homes and investments in two Napa vineyards worth at least $ 6 million.

I watched a movie made by Andrea Pelosi she was part of Bushs' Press Corp on his campaign trail. She mentioned her mom holding office and that she herself was a liberal. Actually it was a good look at GW from start to finish on the campaign trail. Had mostly behind the scenes home video shots of the press traveling with Bush. She hung out with a press person from FOX. She was representing NBC. Allot of Bush being himself (like a family home video). I will do a Google on her and see what I come up with.

PELOSI'S BIG DEAL: Alexandra Pelosi, a former NBC news producer and daughter of Rep. Nancy and Paul Pelosi, has sold "Journeys With George," her documentary about the campaign of George W. Bush, to HBO. Despite the Pelosi family's Democratic links, the filmmaker is said to have forged a jolly teasing relationship with her subject.


The network has announced probable plans to broadcast the movie in November. The Washington Post reported that the deal was in the "solid six figures." "I'm just happy I got a sucker on the line," the filmmaker told that newspaper.

I think this is a very big waste of time. If Pelosi wins the minority spot, she will be a very big boost to the repubs.

Why?? Because she is everything the election was about.

She is a hardline, California Democrat Socialist Party member. She will represent everything people just voted out of office.

She will do nothing but drag the dems into a bigger sink hole. Wait until the dems get a load of her stand against the war in Iraq, plus the fact she will want to repeal the tax cuts, and she will try to initiate every filthy homosexual kind of legislation you can imagine.

Leave her alone - she is a mess looking for a place to land - and the dems are welcome to her.

I figure after 2 years of this garbage, it could net the repubs 5-10 more seats in the House and maybe a seat or two in the Senate (Boxer in 04 and Feinstein in 06).

Besides all that - it could just motivate the repubs in CA to get off their duffs and get this trash out of CA.

Live and uncut, the Bush campaign By ANTHONY VIOLANTI 5/3/2002

Andrea Pelosi has created a kind of homemade, guerrilla journalism, perfectly suited for the digital age. Pelosi, 31, recently released a video documentary that offers a revealing look at George W. Bush's campaign for the White House, titled "Journeys With George."

She calls it a combination home movie and Rorschach test. It's really an antidote to the usual television coverage of pre-packaged candidates and staged events.

All Pelosi had was a Sony mini-digital camcorder, a Mac computer and access to the candidate.

Like Theodore White, who changed the nature of print coverage of presidential campaigns with his behind-the-scenes book, "The Making of the President, 1960," Pelosi has changed the traditional notion of video reporting.

"I didn't set out to do a "Making of the President, 2000,'" Pelosi said this week in a telephone interview from San Francisco, where her documentary was shown at a film festival. "I was on a campaign and I wanted to show people what Bush was like. I think it shows him as a real person."

Bush, in fact, comes across as part aging frat boy, part regular, friendly guy.Pelosi films Bush eating Cheetos, munching bologna sandwiches, bowling, cracking jokes, schmoozing reporters and hustling from one campaign stop to another.

"Stop filming me, you're like a head cold," Bush jokingly tells Pelosi at one point. "I started out as a cowboy, I'm now a statesman," he says.

One time Pelosi jokes with Bush by asking him: "If you were a tree, what tree would you be?" He replies: "I'm not a tree, I'm a bush."Pelosi shoots Bush making faces at the camera, rolling oranges down an airplane aisle, drinking non-alcoholic beer and waltzing around wearing sunglasses and cowboy boots.Remember, this was 1999, a year before the general election. Pelosi, the daughter of House Democratic Whip Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was a producer at NBC News who eventually quit her day job to work on the film.The 77-minute documentary has been shown at film festivals around the country to rave reviews. HBO recently purchased the rights to broadcast it later this year.

Some White House sources have publicly complained that the film violates campaign coverage ground rules because Bush's "back-of-the-plane comments and antics" were off the record.

"I had a camera rolling in Bush's face for a year and a half," Pelosi said. "It's hard for them to say now that they didn't know it was going to be shown to the public."

Pelosi's film "is that rare breed of documentary that could forever alter public perception of its high-profile subject," Joe Leydon wrote in Variety.

Pelosi and Bush are "kindred spirits of sorts," wrote Anthony York on the Salon Web site. "You get the sense from the film that (irreverent) Pelosi is the person Bush would be if he were allowed to come a little unhinged publicly."

Reporters are also caught off-guard on film, as on one snowy day in Iowa when a crowd of shivering journalists wait for Bush. "The only reason we are out here is in case Bush comes out and slips on the ice and falls down," says one wag, adding, "we're vicious predators."

Audience reaction to the Bush they see in the documentary has been divided, said Pelosi, who now runs her own production company in New York City.

"Most of my friends don't like Bush," she said. "When they see the film, about half of them think he's goofy, but the other half really like him as a human being."

The film is the journalistic highlight of Pelosi's career.

"I worked as a television news producer for eight years, and this is the first act of journalism I ever committed," she said.

"Most of the stuff in the film is the kind of stuff that never made the nightly news. With this project, I got to sit in my living room every night and tell a story without 20 other people at NBC putting their hands on it.

Pelosi's biggest break may have been the controversial vote in Florida, which gave the election to Bush.

"He's president of the United States, so everybody wants to see this film," Pelosi said. "But even if he had lost, it would have been worth it for me. I wanted to show how the media works, how campaigns are run and how we elect our presidents."

I believe the Pelosi's own a limo service with operations in a number of cities including DC. Handy if you need to discreetly move a girl friend (or boyfriend in San Fran) to or from the politicians secret hideaway.

[Nachum]

Pelosi has already rescued the Presidio from the budget ax once, in part as an homage to her mentor, the late Phil Burton. Burton, whose likeness stands in a rumpled bronze suit at Fort Mason, left the park in his congressional will, a 1972 bill establishing the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Presidio was slipped in like a cod­icil, barely noticed: The post, if ever aban­doned by the Army, was to become a park, the crown jewel in his legacy of Bay Area parklands.

As Burton had hoped, the base was marked for closure at the end of the Cold War in 1989, and the Sixth Army formally left in 1994. The closure unleashed the city's energy. The Sierra Club's Michael Alexander organized a walking tour for 35 people; ten times that many showed up. San Francisco, as it does, held meetings. The famous, devoted, and accomplished, like director Francis Ford Coppola, the late Transamerica CEO James Harvey, and architect Maya Lin, worked on a plan. Studies were conducted, models studied, butcher paper filled and distilled and emailed to graphic designers. The Presidio was assigned a grand new vision that, if somewhat cloudy in detail, still reached for the sky: "to become a global center for exchanging ideas on critical societal challenges and environmental sustainability."

Idealism bubbled in San Francisco, but in Washington, trouble boiled. Newt Gingrich's revolution swept the elections of 1994, trumpeting the virtues of austerity and limited government. John Duncan Jr. of Tennessee stood in the House holding a sign with a picture of the Presidio's pet cemetery: "Is this your idea of a national park?" it asked. Duncan made hay of the kookier ideas that surfaced for the park, like bungee jumping off the Golden Gate and an extraterrestrial communications center at Crissy Field.

Pelosi employed the Presidio as its own spokesperson. She brought key representatives, including Duncan, to the park to show off its biological and historical riches. The land is home to several threatened and endangered species, including the only wild Raven's manzanita in the world, and rare eco-niches: porous serpentine rock areas and the remnants of dunes that once covered the Peninsula, surrounded by resilient plant survivors of the violent sea winds. The Presidio's forest of eucalyptus and Monterey cypress curves back against the Golden Gate, the buena vista mailed on postcards to families back home in Des Moines and Shanghai and a backdrop for countless newscasts and car ads. Thousands of locals and tourists hike or bike the park's many trails, play on its fields, comb its beaches.

The legislators were impressed by the land and by its military history, dating back to 1776, when Spanish captain Juan Bautista de Anza first scouted the land and successor José Moraga ordered the first dwellings built in what is now San Francisco. On this foggy, wind­swept tongue of land, where the mouth of the magnificent bay meets the sea, the Spanish army built a fort, El Presidio, to subjugate the native peoples and intimidate Russian or English challengers to the prize. Mexico, liberated from Spain in 1821, held the Presidio until Captain John C. Frémont's Bear Flaggers seized it for the United States in 1846.

However impressed Pelosi's colleagues were, the real problem was money. With its battalion of buildings, the Presidio would cost the National Park Service more to maintain than any other national park. "There were definitely people in Congress who wanted to sell this puppy," said Elizabeth Goldstein, the former regional director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation who's now a city parks executive. "That didn't rise to the level of an idea," Pelosi said.

The buildings would have to provide the solution. More than 400 were designated as historic--meaning they must be renovated according to strict standards. Many were in bad shape, and none were up to code. Despite its gorgeous setting, the post was more sprawl than park, and rotting underneath. The repair cost was a cool half billion. But if by leasing some buildings, enough revenues could be generated to fix even more, headway could be made with­out huge federal subsidies. The trick was in the execution: The more buildings that were fixed for the least amount of money, the more could be leased, and the more that were leased, the more could be fixed-and onward in a kind of virtuous circle of restoration. Eventually, the real estate revenues could fund nearly all the park's operations.

Pelosi believed the National Park Service had neither the entre preneurial culture nor the expertise to pull off the task. It could do wonders with the shoreline areas, including Crissy Field and Baker Beach, but for the buildings a new agency was needed. She called the Trust "a very sophisticated financial tool, a creative and imaginative solution" that would save the park without burdening taxpayers. Even people now critical of the Trust supported the bill. Urban Habitat's Carl Anthony said, "The National Park Service didn't have the competence to pull it off. And the Bay Guardian and other critics of the Trust idea didn't have any real program for the situation in Congress."

President Bill Clinton appointed the board, and it began looking for an executive director. Each of its members had slogged through late-night city-planning meetings, where big ideas meet fear and loathing; they knew the dull, grinding cynicism that often haunts public development in San Francisco, the love of process in service of delay. The Presidio, with its deadline, couldn't wait. "For us to reach 2013, we need stuff up and running and generating revenue. We have five to seven years," said Trust board chair Rosenblatt. Meadows, fresh from the conversion of Denver's Lowry Air Force Base, was an "easy choice," according to former board member and urban planning expert Ed Blakely. Meadows was bright and tenacious. Board members would handle the politics; Meadows would charge ahead. The happy ending would have extraordinary energy and beauty: one part 21st-century eco-development, one part raw nature. In January 1998, Meadows thus succeeded two centuries of generals who had commanded the Presidio, and in many ways he embodied the uneasy tension that has always separated the bohemian city from the fort and its military culture. San Francisco has known, hated, and loved many flamboyant mayors, but with a few exceptions--like General Frederick Funston, who built tent cities for refugees of the 1906 earthquake and fire--most San Franciscans don't know the names of the Presidio's generals. Few know Meadows' name, either. Yet Meadows, like the generals, wields great power, and with an impunity the mayor can only dream about.

I disagree, she's almost locked in. Throwing some dirt at her now would encourage Dems to turn on her before the vote, but not enough to actually matter. It would increase infighting within the Democratic party. If the Republican leadership has anything to use on her, they should use it now.

[Dems_R_Losers]

I know it is a pipe dream, but do you think the media will ever start noticing the hypocrisy of the Party of the People being led by the likes of Pelosi, Kennedy, Corzine, Dayton, Feinstein, Rockefeller, Kohl, Kerry/Heinz and Lautenberg? I don't see a single person in the Republican congressional leadership that is a multi-milionaire. J.C. Watts actually left the House because he needed to make money to send his kids to college. Marc Racicot refused to run for the Senate because he also needed to support a large family. But the GOP is still the Party of the Rich.

I think hammering on Pelosi as another of the Democrat's parade of limousine liberals is the best way to go after her. I mean, good old Denny Hastert could not be a better contrast! He is going to run rings around her because she cannot turn him into Newt Gingrich.

(we see the old democratic dirty tricks)

Politics consumed the Baltimore leader, so much so that his closest lieutenant described meetings at his party club as "political science lectures." Although a strong supporter of FDR and progressive Democrats, Pollack's interest was not in public policy, but in political power itself. The key to this power was commonplace: handouts and intervention with the government for the poor, patronage distributed to election workers in keeping with their achievements in winning votes, payoffs from businesses that wanted city contracts and favors, retribution for those who opposed him. Pollack established a frightening reputation for vindictiveness. "When you really got Jack angry and he wanted to dismiss you," his closest associate reported, "he would say goodby to you by saying, 'Good luck and best wishes.' It was like he was sitting Shiva."

By the 1950s, Pollack began to lose his voter base, as Jews and other whites took flight from Baltimore, and blacks rose in number, eventually becoming a majority of the city's population. A series of electoral battles ensued, with the first black success coming in 1954, as a young lawyer Harry A. Cole defeated the Pollack machine to become Maryland's first's black state senator. Pollack grudgingly tried to accommodate, slating a small number of receptive black candidates along with predominantly Jewish candidates, while challenging new voters and bringing white voters to the polls in Baltimore even after they had moved to the suburbs. The population tides eventually could not be held back; by the 1960s blacks leaders and machines replaced Pollock and took control of Baltimore's party organization and the city government.

Three other lawmakers , Sen. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.), Rep. John LaFalce (D- N.Y.) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) , all reported making thousands of dollars in gains off IPO trades, sometimes buying and selling the same day, The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.

IPOs are hot stocks that investment companies usually save for their best customers, as they often produce quick , and hefty , returns.

Pelosi, whose gains were listed in the name of her husband, businessman Paul Pelosi, reported buying and selling between $1,000 and $15,000 worth of stock in two Internet-related companies in the same day. Both stocks doubled in value.

A spokesperson for Pelosi was not immediately available for comment.

The sumptuous California dream lives on with Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

Vineyards in Napa County, hundreds of undeveloped acres in Sacramento, a Santa Barbara resort, a condo in Alpine Meadows, and downtown San Francisco commercial real estate -- these are just some of the properties that the San Francisco Democrat shares with her husband Paul Pelosi, a successful businessman.

Contained in her financial disclosure statement as required by Congress, Pelosi's assets were made public on Friday.
The reports are intended as a way to prevent conflicts of interest in the legislative process and not as a means to determine net worth, so the actual value of investment income, assets and liabilities are broadly reported.
The combined net worth of Pelosi and her husband chalks in between $12.5 million to $45 million. Their outside income, derived from rents, interest, capital gains and dividends, is listed as between $863,000 to $6.4 million.

As a member of Congress, Pelosi earns $133,600 annually.
The bulk of the reported assets are identified as belonging to Paul Pelosi, with the exception of some stock equities and real estate that is listed as jointly held between the couple.

The Presidio Trust Act, by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), desperately needed the support of environmentalists to win congressional approval.

The bill did something that had historically been considered anathema to environmental leaders: it turned control of a national park over to a private, unelected trust controlled by big businesses and real estate developers.

But Pelosi promised that this bitter pill would be coated in green: the park's general management plan, she insisted, would prevent the place from becoming an intensively developed office complex (see "Presidio Inc.," 1/12/94).

The Tides Foundation and the Energy Foundation, which were part of the first nonmilitary project at the Presidio, the Thoreau Center, were also key supporters of Pelosi's plan (see "Anatomy of a Sellout," 10/8/97). They all had sweetheart leases at the park – and neither they nor the groups they funded would utter a peep against the privatization of the park.

But now even they are taking issue with the direction the trust is taking. Friedman of Tides told us that the foundation's comments would be along the same lines as those of other environmental groups. And while the Energy Foundation isn't taking a position on the project, executive director Hal Harvey told us he personally opposes it. "I think the decision to develop that whole corner of the park is a big mistake," he said.

The Presidio Alliance, which represents the nonprofits located at the Presidio, is not taking an official position on the project. But it did send out a copy of the National Parks and Conservation Association's stated objections to the proposal.

At the time Pelosi's bill was going through Congress, critics pointed out that the bill gave the trust the ability to ignore the general management plan – and that, in fact, the bill turned the plan on its head by requiring the trust to make financial return the top priority for the use of park land.

$50.2 Million for Presidio

Appropriations Panel Also Wants Report to Speed Hunters

Point Clean-up

July 1, 1999

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, a senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, announced today that the full Committee approved a fiscal year 2000 appropriation for the U.S. Interior Department that includes a total of $44.4 million for the Presidio Trust -- $24.4 million for operations and $20 million in borrowing authority to rehabilitate property for leasing.

In addition, the U.S. Park Service received $5.8 million to cover its responsibilities at the Presidio, including $800,000 for rehabilitation of Crissy Field. The Committee Report also encourages the Presidio Trust and the Smithsonian Institution to explore avenues for affiliation. "This funding," said Pelosi, "will enable the Presidio to proceed at all deliberate speed toward the twin goals of preserving the essence of a magnificent national park and achieving economic self-sufficiency."

Hunters Point

The Appropriations Committee also approved Pelosi language recognizing "the important progress" being made to clean up Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and complete its transfer to the City of San Francisco.

"It is the belief of the Committee," said Pelosi, "that the necessary funding to achieve the environmental clean-up goals at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard should be allocated by the Navy to expedite, and coincide with, the implementation of City land re-use and redevelopment plans."

The Appropriations Committee directed the Secretary of the Navy to report to the Committee no later than January 15, 2000, on the progress being made to complete the timely transfer and redevelopment of Hunters Point and on the compatibility of the process with local revitalization plans. "This provision is important," Pelosi noted, "because it will hurry the reinvigoration of the surrounding neighborhoods and create much-needed job opportunities."

Pelosi Statement Praising Presidio Trust Announcement on Letterman

June 14, 1999

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations to the Presidio Trust on their announcement of a "preferred alternative" for the Letterman Complex at the Presidio. Several excellent alternatives for Letterman were under consideration by the Trust and the step taken today marks a major milestone on the Trust's journey to sustainability.

Today's decision on the preferred alternative exemplifies the fine leadership of the Presidio Trust. The Letterman lease will be a major accomplishment for the Trust, which will preserve the park's environmental integrity while ensuring that the Presidio becomes a self-sustaining national park. The Trust has an important challenge from Congress to become self-sufficient, and I am confident that its leadership will realize even greater success for the Presidio and bring great pride to our community as a place of beauty and recreation.

Many members of the Presidio Trust were involved with the Presidio Council in developing the general concepts for the Trust and in the public planning process with the National Park Service. Their participation resulted in legislation passed by Congress to create a unique management model for a unique national park.
