Recent polls put California state Sen. Scott Wiener narrowly ahead in the race to succeed Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, with Connie Chan and Saikat Chakrabarti still within striking distance.
The top 2 finishers in the primary will advance to November, leaving the contest highly competitive despite Pelosi's long dominance of the district.
Pelosi recently endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, saying she knows both the district and Congress well enough to back her.
The close 3-way contest underscores how unsettled the seat is after decades of Pelosi's representation, with San Francisco voters poised to choose a new congressional voice.
