Race to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress is over. See who won.

San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan conceded California’s 11th Congressional District race to state Sen. Scott Wiener late Wednesday, Nov. 4, ending a closely watched contest to succeed retiring Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Wiener had declared victory Tuesday night, but the race remained too close to call as ballots continued to be counted Wednesday. Chan, who had Pelosi’s endorsement, initially hoped outstanding ballots could close the gap. By the latest results released at 4 p.m. Wednesday, however, Chan acknowledged that she no longer had a viable path to victory. “After reviewing the results and the ballots remaining to be counted, while we expect the margin to narrow significantly, we do not have a clear path to victory,” Chan said in a statement. “I congratulate Scott Wiener on his election and wish him success in serving San Francisco.” Who is Scott Wiener? Scott Wiener has spent more than 15 years in elected office in San Francisco and Sacramento, building a reputation in the state Capitol as a persistent and effective legislator, particularly on housing and public transportation. Before joining the state Senate, Wiener served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors from 2011 to 2016, representing District 8, which includes the Castro and

San Francisco's Upper Great Highway: Results of Proposition G

San Francisco residents have voted to keep the city closed to private vehicles for the second time in two years, opting to maintain its newest Coastal park, the Sunset Dunes. The San Francisco Chronicle called the measure. As of 11 p.m., residents have voted no on Prop G, with 109,160 (62.8%) voting in opposition and 64,656 (37.2%) voting yes. What is Prop G? At the center of Prop G is a simple question: whether voters want to reconsider the city's decision to renovate a two-mile stretch of the Upper Great Highway into the coastal park, Sunset Dunes. During the pandemic, the city temporarily closed the Upper Great Highway to weekend commuters, giving residents an outdoor area for social distancing and recreation. In 2024, voters considered Proposition K, which asked whether to permanently close the Upper Great Highway to motor vehicles seven days a week and use it as a public open recreation space. Ultimately, Prop K passed, earning 206,042 votes in support, or about 54% of the vote. The city of San Francisco then spent about $820,000 in public funds to create Sunset Dunes Park, removing old traffic signals and renovating the area for public use. As of June 2026,
