Overview
- The District 1 supervisor announced her congressional bid Thursday with a video highlighting her immigrant story, labor alliances and work on tenant protections.
- Chan contrasted herself with State Sen. Scott Wiener on housing, vowing to build "real affordable housing, not the Sacramento version that destroys our neighborhoods."
- She joins a field that includes Wiener and Saikat Chakrabarti, the tech executive and former AOC chief of staff who has pledged to self-fund his campaign.
- Wiener has raised more than $1 million to date, according to campaign filings cited in local reporting.
- If elected, Chan would be the first Asian American to represent San Francisco in Congress, and Nancy Pelosi has not endorsed a successor despite backing Chan’s 2024 reelection.
