Top candidates in tight race for Nancy Pelosi's seat
The last time San Francisco voters had someone other than Nancy Pelosi representing them in Congress, there were no self-driving taxis on the streets, no AI ads competing for space around the tie-dye shop in Haight-Ashbury. The youngest San Franciscans who could have voted then are now nearing retirement age.
Pelosi had long been quiet about the race but became more explicit when she endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan weeks before the primary.
"I know and love this district. I know the Congress, and I know Connie," Pelosi said. "I'm proud to endorse Democrat Connie Chan and ask you to join me in electing her to Congress."
Despite Pelosi's endorsement, recent polls show the race remains tight with State Sen. Scott Wiener leading and former tech executive and former chief of staff for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Saikat Chakrabarti close behind.
The top two vote-getters will keep this race going all the way to November.
