60-Second Summary

Nancy Pelosi’s decision not to seek reelection has set off a scramble for her solidly blue San Francisco seat. Progressive tech millionaire Saikat Chakrabarti and state Sen. Scott Wiener are already running. Wiener reported $730,000 raised on his launch day, citing the need to counter a self-funder. San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan is being floated, former Mayor London Breed says she’s considering, and Pelosi’s daughter Christine remains an open question. With filing not opening until early next year and Pelosi yet to endorse, operatives say her nod could instantly anoint a frontrunner. Pelosi won 81% in 2024.
