A reporter asked, “Beto O’Rourke announced today that he is running for president. What, in your view, was Beto O’Rourke’s signature accomplishment as a member of the House?”
The Speaker replied, “Beto brought vitality to Congress. When he came, he came as a real champion for the environment.”
She added, “He got a great deal of support from the environmental community in his district. He won a primary on that subject.”

“And, also, he was a member of the Armed Services Committee, a strong member of the Armed Services Committee, which is very important for his district,” Pelosi added. “In persevering our planet and protecting our people, they’re at least two areas in addition to his vitality in so many different ways.”
Nancy Pelosi was asked what Beto's "signature accomplishment" was in Congress.
