Scott Wiener And Connie Chan Advance In House Race
The Huffington Post reports:
California state Sen. Scott Wiener and San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan are projected to advance in the top-two “jungle” primary for the state’s 11th congressional district, signaling just how enduring former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s hold on the region continues to be.
The outcome pits Wiener, a more moderate candidate, against Chan, a progressive who recently secured Pelosi’s endorsement for a district that the California lawmaker has represented for more than three decades.
Wiener and Chan ultimately edged out progressive political adviser Saikat Chakrabarti, a former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who unabashedly challenged the Democratic establishment.
