US EditionCalifornia Sen. Scott Wiener Announces Bid for Rep. Nancy Pelosi's Congressional Seat
Wiener challenges Pelosi's long-held seat emphasizing leadership against hate and focusing on housing, healthcare, and public safety in San Francisco's 11th district.
- On Wednesday, California state Sen. Scott Wiener announced his run for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 11th congressional district seat next year.
- With Pelosi set to delay her decision until after Nov. 4, Wiener told allies he planned to run in 2026, according to the San Francisco Standard.
- On his campaign site, Wiener prioritized housing, healthcare, immigration, criminal-justice reform and public safety, and said, `I've stood up to violence and hate my entire life; Trump and his MAGA extremists don't scare me.'
- Wiener framed the bid as opposing President Donald Trump's agenda and defending city values, expanding a field that includes progressive challenger Saikat Chakrabarti, who urged Pelosi to step aside.
- Pelosi's long tenure highlights a potential generational shift as she has held the seat since 1987 and will be 86 when her term ends, while Wiener’s local roots include representing the Castro neighborhood.
