Scott Wiener and Connie Chan Advance in Race to Succeed Nancy Pelosi
In a highly anticipated contest for the U.S. House District 11 seat, San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan and State Senator Scott Wiener have emerged as the top two candidates to replace retiring Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Both candidates have faced off in a fierce primary battle, with Chan recently experiencing a surge in support, partially due to endorsements from Pelosi herself. As the race progresses toward the November general election, the political landscape remains dynamic, with Chan and Wiener set to engage in a showdown. This election marks a significant moment for San Francisco, as the city prepares to welcome a new congressperson for the first time in 40 years amidst a backdrop of reshaped congressional maps and a divided Democratic base.
