You forgot one: Connie currently losing her own supervisorial district to Scott 👀
some interesting countervailing trends in the SF election results..
Steyer won handily at 38%
Jane Kim won for insurance commissioner
The combined Connie + Saikat votes are surmounting Scott's (46 % 41%)
I feel like a lot of SFans are progressive but not in their backyard

This isn't just any Congressional seat. San Francisco is the best city on planet earth, and it would be the honor of my life to fight for this community in Washington.

Atop the Golden Gate, @GavinNewsom signs the final bill on his desk.
Joined by SF champion Senator @Scott_Wiener, the Governor signed legislation further cementing California as the global epicenter of tech & innovation.
THE FUTURE HAPPENS HERE FIRST!

The last bill Governor Newsom signed for his 8 year tenure is our science bond to keep California in the lead on science and stop the brain drain Trump is causing with his science cuts. It’ll appear on the March 2028 ballot. Thank you Governor!
Signing the last bill of the regular legislative session with Senator @Scott_Wiener.
We're investing in the people and institutions that will drive California's success for generations to come.

What's a better place to sign legislation than atop the Golden Gate Bridge?
California is doubling down on our innovation economy by putting a $7.5B research bond before voters in 2028 to build on our research ecosystem, create new jobs, and develop new tech that improves lives.

AI is reshaping our economy and way of life — in potentially disastrous ways.
While Congress has failed to act, I stepped up and passed California’s first in the nation AI safety law.
When I get to Congress, I’ll step up again and make sure AI is regulated like any other industry. AI must benefit humanity, not harm it.

Saved by the Bell was sacred in my house. This Mr. Belding moment still gets me every time.
Rest in Peace, Dennis Haskins.
Rest in Peace, Dennis Haskins.
I knew Mr. Belding a lot more than I knew my own principal. Thank you for all the wonderful memories at Bayside.

Wrong question to be asking.
A better one: why do so many of the homes SF has ACTUALLY approved in recent years trace back to Senator Wiener's bills?
880 McAllister: 2,300 homes (SB 593)
1064 Mission: 256 homes (SB 35)
1965 Market: 201 homes (SB 423)
1939 Market: 187 homes (SB 35)
730 Stanyan: 160 homes (SB 35)
681 Florida: 130 homes (SB 35)
2340 San Jose: 121 homes (SB 35)
2550 Irving: 90 homes (SB 35)
3001 24th St: 45 homes(SB 35)
SB 35 alone has streamlined 3,600+ homes in SF.
The broader context: State law can open the door. The city has to choose to walk through it.
San Francisco has indeed not built enough housing in recent years. But what we have built (majority of affordable!), would not have been built without Senator Wiener's efforts.
If we want to realize the full potential of Senator Wiener's work to become housing, City Hall has to stop getting in the way (which his opponent has done time and time again).

OPINION: The most intriguing thing about the race between Scott Wiener and Connie Chan to fill Nancy Pelosi’s House seat is that it has become a race at all, the editorial board writes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/edit…

We asked Richmond District residents for their thoughts on Connie Chan and Scott Wiener. They were clear about who they want to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress.

Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code.

Opinion: The state senator’s early warnings about artificial intelligence look prophetic now — and it’s just one reason he should be headed to Washington.
