California 11th district primary results: Wiener advances to general election to succeed Pelosi

LOS ANGELES — State Sen. Scott Wiener (D-CA) was declared one of the winners in California’s primary election on Tuesday to advance to the general election for the seat held by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in the 11th Congressional District. 

With roughly 49% of the vote counted on early Wednesday morning, Wiener was at 41.3% with 44,479 votes and declared as one of the winners of the primary, according to the Associated Press. Connie Chan, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and Saikat Chakrabarti, a tech entrepreneur and former campaign manager for then-candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are vying for second place and the right to advance to the general election. As of early Wednesday morning, Chan was at 28.6% with 30,853 votes, and Chakrabarti was at 14.9% with 16,093 votes.

The contest was the first truly competitive race for the Northern California seat in nearly four decades and had a crowded field of 11 candidates.
