State Senator Scott Wiener announced his campaign for the U.S. House seat held by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, launching what is expected to be a high-profile primary. Wiener represents San Francisco and framed his campaign as defending the city, its values, its people, and the Constitution, warning against Trump and MAGA extremism.
