Pelosi backs Chan to succeed her, reshaping San Francisco's congressional race
TL;DR Summary
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to succeed her in Congress, a last‑minute twist in a three‑way Democratic primary that also includes state Sen. Scott Wiener and tech entrepreneur Saikat Chakrabarti. Wiener currently leads polls, Chan is neck‑and‑neck with Chakrabarti, and Marie Huriabell is also running. Pelosi lauded Chan’s leadership and lived experience, signaling a push to position Chan in second place behind Wiener; the endorsement comes as Pelosi previously signaled she wouldn’t endorse in the gubernatorial race.
