The highly anticipated race for Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s seat in Congress – the first time this seat has been open since 1987 – is coming to a head this month, as S.F. District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan and State Sen. Scott Wiener make their final arguments citywide for the vote.
Much of the election is coming down to the west side, where Chan is the supervisor for the Richmond District, and Wiener has set up an office for his campaign headquarters on California Street near Fifth Avenue.
As the candidates enter the final stretch, with mail-in ballots being sent out in early October, our team followed Wiener around to see what a day on the campaign trail looks like at this pivotal moment.
7:45 a.m.: Wiener begins his day by high-fiving a jogger at the starting line of the YMCA’s community “Jog in the Fog” race at Mountain Lake Park on Sunday, Sept. 20. He was invited to sound the horn at the family-friendly 5K race.
8:30 a.m.: Wiener hugs longtime supporter Teddy Kramer outside of Arsicault Bakery in the Inner Richmond. Kramer, a former small-business owner, praised Wiener’s community engagement and what Kramer described as Wiener’s proactive efforts to bring change to San Francisco.
9 a.m.: Wiener shakes the hand of Richmond resident Diana Cohen Robinson at the Clement Street Farmers Market. During their talk, Cohen Robinson asked Wiener why he was so controversial. “He had a good answer,” she said. “Because he takes on tough issues.”
10 a.m.: Wiener takes a photo with a supporter during a visit to his campaign booth at the Clement Street Farmers Market.
