Christine Pelosi passes on bid for retiring mother’s House seat

Christine Pelosi opts for California State Senate to focus on workers' rights and women's issues, aiming to build state power ahead of the 2030 census.

  • Christine Pelosi announced Monday she will not seek her mother’s House seat and is launching a California state Senate campaign to represent San Francisco.
  • With Nancy Pelosi's retirement last week, Christine Pelosi, long linked to succeeding her mother for nearly 40 years, reshapes the House of Representatives succession landscape.
  • With roots in law and advocacy, Christine Pelosi prioritizes the future of work, women's rights, and California's power ahead of the next decennial census, drawing on experience as a San Francisco prosecutor and leader of the California Democratic Party women's caucus.
  • Without a Pelosi in the race, San Francisco's congressional district attracts a crowded Democratic field, and state Sen. Scott Wiener's bid for Congress next year could open his state Senate seat early.
  • By announcing so soon, Christine Pelosi could be aiming to secure early endorsements and campaign war chest, while creating an open Democratic primary in California's 11th District without the Pelosi name.
