politicsMay 18, 20261860

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to succeed her in the congressional seat Pelosi has held for nearly 40 years. Pelosi announced the endorsement two weeks before Election Day, about six months after she declared her retirement. Pelosi called Chan "the leader best prepared to carry forward the fight for San Francisco in the Congress," and Chan is a Chinatown-based progressive organizer WHO has publicly said Israel committed genocide in Gaza. The endorsement gives Chan a major establishment boost in a competitive race and is likely to shape fundraising and undecided voters before the vote.
