Pelosi's announcement is ruining other people's plans

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s decision to seek reelection next year will have cascading effects on San Francisco politics and derail campaign plans for Democrats in down-ballot races, particularly the one to replace state Sen. Scott Wiener.

Wiener had been raising money and gathering support for the possibility of Pelosi’s retirement, which would have sparked a fight among San Francisco Democrats gunning for a rare open House seat.

But after Pelosi’s announcement at a labor event Friday morning, the high-profile state senator switched gears, saying he will run for a third term.

“Right now I’m focused like a laser on the end of our legislative session in Sacramento,” Wiener said, citing two housing bills he’s pushing, along with legislation to decriminalize psychedelics.
