    Candidate briefing

    Connie Chan is a San Francisco supervisor and a 2026 Democratic candidate for California’s 11th Congressional District, the seat Nancy Pelosi is leaving. She finished second in the June 2 top-two primary and advances to November against state Sen. Scott Wiener.

    Wikipedia records that Chan immigrated from Hong Kong as a teenager and has represented District 1 on the Board of Supervisors since 2021. Our Revolution and the Working Families Party have endorsed her.

    Why Political Revolution supports her: she is the progressive in the race to succeed Pelosi, backed by Our Revolution and WFP.
