Chan, Wiener Face Off for Pelosi House Seat in San Francisco
Wiener, a housing and transit-focused moderate, and Chan, backed by labor unions, are set for a November matchup after edging out Saikat Chakrabarti.
- California State Sen. Scott Wiener and San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan advanced Tuesday in the primary for the 11th Congressional District, positioning them for a November general election to succeed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
- Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who represented the district for more than three decades, reversed course last month to endorse Chan, intensifying competition against Wiener, who had maintained a commanding polling lead throughout the campaign.
- After facing intense pressure during the primary, Wiener declared Israel's actions in the Gaza War 'genocide,' a stance that drew criticism from some Jewish leaders and prompted his resignation from the California Jewish Caucus.
- Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, finished third with 15% of the vote, while Associated Press projections showed Wiener at 41% and Chan at 28% as of Wednesday morning.
- Wiener vowed to fight the Trump administration's 'disaster of a regime,' emphasizing his readiness to tackle housing and transit issues if elected to Congress in November.
