Christine Pelosi<\/strong>, the daughter of longtime California congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)<\/strong>, has officially announced her bid for a California State Senate seat<\/strong> currently held by Sen. Scott Wiener<\/strong>, who is running to replace Nancy Pelosi in the U.S. House of Representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In her campaign launch, Pelosi<\/strong>, a Democratic attorney and activist<\/strong>, framed her run as a fight to defend consumer rights, women\u2019s rights, and vulnerable communities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m running to represent San Francisco in Sacramento, fighting for consumer rights, women\u2019s rights, gun violence survivors, immigrants, and our most vulnerable communities, against the threat we face,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cWhat do we do when our freedoms are under attack? We speak up, we fight back, and we organize power for the people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n If successful, this would mark Christine Pelosi\u2019s first time holding public office<\/strong>. She has previously worked as an attorney, author, and party strategist<\/strong>, serving as chair of the California Democratic Party\u2019s Women\u2019s Caucus<\/strong> and as a delegate to multiple Democratic National Conventions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wiener\u2019s Senate term runs through 2028<\/strong>, but if he wins Nancy Pelosi\u2019s congressional seat in 2026<\/strong>, his state position will become vacant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Political observers believe Pelosi will enjoy strong institutional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cChristine clears the field of the establishment left,\u201d said political consultant Jim Ross<\/strong>, citing her deep ties to the Pelosi political network<\/strong>, which has shaped San Francisco politics for decades.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Outgoing Rep. Nancy Pelosi<\/strong> confirmed earlier this year that she would not seek reelection, saying she looks forward to her \u201cfinal year of service\u201d and thanked voters for their support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI will not be seeking reelection to Congress,\u201d the senior Pelosi said. \u201cWith a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Nancy Pelosi also highlighted her decades of work securing federal funds for San Francisco<\/strong>, calling on residents to \u201cknow your power\u201d and continue civic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Scott Wiener<\/strong> has launched his campaign for Congress, promising to \u201cfight Trump\u2019s takeover\u201d<\/strong> and focus on housing, healthcare, clean energy, and civil rights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The daughter of outgoing Rep.
