Christine Pelosi won't run to succeed her mother Nancy in Congress, ending the Pelosi dynasty in the House of Representatives.

The younger Pelosi, 59, announced on Monday that she'd run for California state Senate instead, opening the field for a competitive Democratic primary to rep Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco district in 2026.

"In courtrooms, campaigns and corridors of power, I've fought to build power for the people. And that's why I'm running for California Senate," Christine Pelosi said in her Monday announcement.

Nancy Pelosi, 85, revealed Thursday that she would not vie for a 20th full term in the lower chamber, fueling speculation that she was setting her daughter up to take her place.

Christine, one of Pelosi's five children with husband Paul, had kept her plans quiet until Monday.

"I'm running to represent San Francisco in Sacramento, fighting for consumer rights, women's rights, gun violence survivors, immigrants and our most vulnerable communities, against the threat we face," she declared in her 42-second campaign launch video.

"What do we do when our freedoms are under attack? We speak up, we fight back and we organize power for the people, and that's what I want to do for you."

Christine has been involved with the Democratic National Committee since 1996, and has served on its executive committee panel since 2017.

Had she run for Congress and won, she would have been a third-generation House member — joining her mother and her maternal grandfather, the late Rep. Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. (D-Md.).

Ahead of the announcement, some California Democratic sources told The Post that Christine Pelosi would likely have fallen victim to the anti-establishment mood in the party — as well as concerns about her lack of experience in elected office.

There are currently two heavyweight contenders to represent the deep-blue district: Multi-millionaire software engineer Saikat Chakrabarti, who previously served as chief of staff to "Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY); and State Sen. Scott Wiener.

Nancy Pelosi made history as the first female speaker of the House, a role she held twice. She also led Democrats through critical battles on Obamacare, both impeachments President Trump, and the internal revolt against former President Joe Biden that culminated in him ending his bid for re-election.
