Scott Wiener (D) and Connie Chan (D) advanced from the top-two primary for California's 11th Congressional District on June 2, 2026. Wiener and Chan were among the eight Democrats, two Republicans and one independent who ran in the primary. As of June 2026, Wiener, Chan, and Saikat Chakrabarti (D) led in fundraising, endorsements, and local media attention.
Incumbent Nancy Pelosi (D) did not run for re-election. Mission Local's Joe Eskenazi said: "Nobody still in the business has run a real San Francisco congressional race. Pelosi has held this seat since 1987. There hasn’t been a serious and competitive race for two generations." Pelosi endorsed Chan on May 18, 2026.
Wiener was, as of the 2026 election, a member of the California Senate. Before his election to the Senate in 2016, Wiener served for five years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Wiener said he was running "to defend San Francisco, our values, our people, and the Constitution of the United States with everything I have." California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) endorsed Wiener.
