  • In an interview for the FRONTLINE documentary “Pelosi’s Power,” Judy Lemons, who served as Nancy Pelosi’s chief of staff from 1987 to 2002, discusses Pelosi’s approach to legislating.
    “The elements of her leadership have to do with her persuasiveness, her commitment, and her ability to count votes and to appeal to people about a particular avenue that might concern them,” she tells FRONTLINE.
    The following interview was conducted by FRONTLINE’s Michael Kirk on Nov. 15, 2021. It has been edited for clarity and length.
    “Pelosi’s Power” premieres March 22, 2022.
    This interview is being published as part of FRONTLINE’s Transparency Project, an effort to open up the source material behind our documentaries. Explore the transcript of this interview, and others, on the FRONTLINE website: www.pbs.org/wg...

    I have always respected Speaker Pelosi. This interview elevated her to "hero status," in my opinion. Nancy was lucky to have someone like Judy Lemons in her corner. I am sure Judy felt the same about Nancy. Great interview.

    It was good hearing Nancy able to be so relaxed in discussing the current situation. She's immensely experienced and interesting, but her commitment to perform her leadership roles, honourably contrasts with an opposition Party who are selfish enough to use their political roles as sport. It is not, the consequences on the public are seriously life changing.

    She means California Congressman George Miller, Not George Mitchell. She didn’t say Nancy was being made fun of, she said, the men talked about her looks. She’s a beautiful woman. Nancy learned her updated ( from childhood) politics from the Democrats in SF. Phil Burton when he was alive, his brother John and Willie Brown, who was Speaker in CA for longer than any Speaker in history of CA. His speakership was a parallel with Nancy’s…Republicans much like Nancy’s in Congress were after him in state legislature! George Miller was her brilliant mentor for many years. Do not underestimate the political examples of success Nancy saw in Democrats in SF…lots of good advice from them. Nancy and her oldest daughter Christine were a dynamic lduo when Nancy was chair of the CA Democratic Party. Christine followed her as CA. Chair.
    Dunno, If Paul still buys her clothes, but he used to buy hee clothes for her. Pelosi is fashionable. Republicans never put their own women up for top jobs in Congress so Nancy was always a reproach to Republicans’ lack of confidence in women period.
    Who is the terrible reporter? His “gotcha” attempts were rebuffed time and again.
