SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Democrat Scott Wiener advances to the general election for U.S. House in California’s 11th Congressional District.
As of 9:45 p.m. on Tuesday, he has 40,017 votes.
San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, who was endorsed by Emerita Pelosi, is in second place with 26,443 votes.
Political newcomer Saikat Chakrabarti is in third with 13,154 votes.
And David Ganezer has 5,201 votes.
This is a breaking news topper. Original story follows below.
The last time San Francisco voters had someone other than Speaker Emerita 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.
“I’m not sure what came first, Pelosi or San Francisco,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a close Pelosi ally and a former mayor of the city, told CNN recently.

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 both Chan 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.
As of 8:50 p.m. Tuesday, Scott Wiener is leading the race with 37, 562 votes.
Connie Chan is currently in second place with 24,276 votes.
And Saikat Chakrabarti is in third with 11,689 votes.
