State Senator Scott Wiener holds a commanding position in the race to succeed retiring Representative Nancy Pelosi in California's 11th congressional district, where the June 2 top-two primary will determine general election contenders. Recent polling, including a San Francisco Chronicle survey, shows Wiener leading across nearly all demographic groups with broad support from party insiders and endorsements from the California Democratic Party. His established record in state senate housing and progressive legislation has contributed to this trader consensus. Saikat Chakrabarti and Connie Chan remain distant in polling and fundraising, splitting limited progressive and labor backing without closing the gap. The safe Democratic seat and top-two format further reinforce expectations for Wiener to advance as the top finisher.
