San Francisco’s political landscape is about to get spicy with potential congressional seat drama brewing faster than your favorite artisanal cold brew.

State Senator Scott Wiener dropped a political bombshell by announcing his run for Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat, but the real tea is that District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan might be throwing her hat in the ring too.

The Pelosi Prophecy

Politico is stirring the pot with speculation that Chan could be Pelosi’s preferred successor. How? Chan was the only local elected official standing beside Pelosi at a recent labor event promoting Prop 50, which some political observers are reading as a not-so-subtle endorsement.

The Potential Contenders

The congressional race is shaping up to be a San Francisco political thunderdome. We’ve got Scott Wiener officially running, Connie Chan maybe running, tech organizer Saikat Chakrabarti definitely in the mix, and whispers that even Pelosi’s daughter Christine might jump in.

Tech Bros and Political Kingmaking

Tech powerbrokers are reportedly discussing drafting another candidate - with former Mayor London Breed’s name floating around. Because nothing says “democratic process” like tech millionaires trying to orchestrate political musical chairs, right?

The 85-year-old Pelosi is playing it cool, promising to announce her plans after November’s redistricting vote. One thing’s certain: this race is going to be more dramatic than a Mission District brunch debate.
