(SAN FRANCISCO - Calif.) -- Scott Wiener has taken a strong lead over Connie Chan with 55.4% of the votes to 44.56%, with 51% of the votes counted so far.
There will be further returns throughout the night and the coming days but that lead is considered significant. The winner will be the city’s first new representative in 39 years, replacing Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
