State Senator Scott Weiner announced earlier this week that he will be running next year for Congress in California’s 11th district – the same seat held by Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
The 55-year old Weiner had previously indicated that he would wait until Pelosi retired before running for Congress.
The 85-year old Pelosi was first elected to Congress nearly 40 years ago. The former House Speaker hasn’t indicated if she will seek another term.
