San Francisco Snubs Pelosi's Pick For A Radical With Creepy Legislative Record San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan (D-CA) conceded the race for the city's open congressional seat to state Sen. Scott Wiener on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026, handing the seat Rep.
Nancy Pelosi held for decades to the candidate she did not endorse. Pelosi, the former House speaker, backed Chan and campaigned for her in the closing stretch of the race. Chan announced the result in a statement her campaign released Wednesday.

"I congratulate Scott Wiener on his election and wish him success in serving San Francisco." The concession ends a costly, bitter contest for a seat Pelosi seemed reluctant to give up for years, despite rumors of retirement.
