On the ballot
- Scott Wiener — Democratic
- Connie Chan — Democratic
This person holds your district's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (2-year term).
This is an open seat and both November candidates are Democrats: State Senator Scott Wiener led the June 2 primary with 40.7% and San Francisco supervisor Connie Chan took 29.7%. The district covers most of San Francisco.
The winner holds one of 435 seats in the U.S. House for a two-year term. A member introduces bills, sits on committees that shape federal legislation, votes on the federal budget and on war powers, and handles casework between constituents and federal agencies. Because this seat is open, whoever wins starts at the bottom of the seniority ladder that governs committee assignments.
With two Democrats on the ballot, party is not the axis. One brings a substantial state legislative record and the largest individual-donor base in this part of the ballot; the other brings city government experience and about a quarter of the money. Both are funded overwhelmingly by individuals rather than committees, which is unusual and means neither is notably beholden to institutional donors.
Scott Wiener
Democrat, a sitting State Senator seeking this open House seat. He is lead author of 35 bills in the 2025–2026 state session, 11 of them signed into law — among the strongest conversion rates in the Legislature. He raised $4,561,120, of which $4,453,183 came from individuals and $91,176 from PACs and committees.
Strengths
Eleven state bills signed into law is a top-tier record, and 98% of his funding came from named individuals rather than institutional committees.
Trade-offs
He has no federal record; his state work was in a chamber with a different remit entirely.
Keep in mind
A $4.56 million campaign for an open House seat is among the largest here, and it produced 40.7% in June — short of a majority.
Connie Chan
Democrat, a San Francisco supervisor seeking this open House seat. She has not served in the California Legislature or U.S. Congress. She raised $1,094,321, of which $940,671 came from individuals and $152,500 from PACs and committees.
Strengths
City government experience covering the same electorate, and 86% of her funding from named individuals rather than committees.
Trade-offs
She has no state or federal legislative record to be judged on, and goes into November with about a quarter of her opponent's resources.
Keep in mind
She trailed by 11 points in June; in a two-Democrat general the question is where the remaining primary vote goes.
