WASHINGTON—Soon-to-be House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said that going into 2019, Democrats plan to focus on shoring up the country’s infrastructure with green technology, reforming campaign-finance laws, and lowering health care costs, while leaving room for the incoming representatives to have a say in the party’s agenda.

When asked about the Democrats’ plans to investigate President Donald Trump, she was less willing to make a prediction, telling reporters that each committee “will have to make a judgment at that time when they come in as to where we go.” Some of her committee chairs have already announced their plans for investigations.

Health Care

There are two areas that Pelosi sees as being able to work on with Republicans and the president: improving the country’s infrastructure and lowering the costs of prescription drugs.
