Chan Concedes: California State Senator Wiener to Succeed Pelosi in California's 11th Congressional District
SAN FRANCISCO, California — California State Senator Scott Wiener will succeed House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi in California's 11th Congressional District, USA TODAY reported in its November 4 evening live coverage, after his opponent, San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, conceded the race on November 4.
In a statement posted to social media on November 4, Chan said she expected the margin in the race to narrow but that she had "no path to victory." Chan was Pelosi's chosen successor for the seat. Wiener made housing development and affordability central to his campaign and, according to the San Francisco Standard, framed Chan as a "NIMBY." GSM's California results list had previously recorded Wiener leading District 11 with 55.4%; Chan's concession settles the succession.
Pelosi has represented San Francisco districts in Congress since 1987 and was long the face of the Democratic Party; the District 11 seat will now pass to Wiener. District 11 is among the seats Democrats held; final results remain subject to certification by the California Secretary of State.
