If you voted in Tuesday’s election, you’re in the minority. Early results show turnout in San Francisco hovering around an "abysmally low" 25%.

Connie Chan was struggling in the race to replace the liberal icon in Congress. Then Nancy Pelosi endorsed her campaign. In San Francisco politics, that backing may be worth more than $10 million.

Tom Steyer has twice tried to get into politics by plowing hundreds of millions of his own money toward the effort. By Tuesday evening, it appeared that his second stab at public office may not pan out.

Daniel Lurie wasn’t on the ballot Tuesday night, but that didn’t stop him from being the city’s biggest political winner: Two of his allies won special elections, plus competing tax measures that he opposed are both on track to fail.

State Sen. Scott Wiener registered a commanding lead in the race to replace Rep. Nancy Pelosi Tuesday night. He says he does not plan to spend his time in the House sitting quiet.

California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer addresses supporters in San Francisco following the first wave of election results. "It might take some time to figure out where this is going. We're going to wait until every ballot is counted. We're going to give democracy time to work."

Scott Wiener celebrates with supporters after initial election results gave him an lead in the race to succeed Nancy Pelosi. He currently holds 43.4% of the vote, and Connie Chan second with 28.1%.

Supervisor Alan Wong's party erupted into excitement as early results show he's leading San Francisco’s District 4 race by a landslide. This follows a rollercoaster year for the district, with the recall of Joel Engardio and the brief, controversial appointment of Beya Alcaraz.

Working Families Party call out the initial results for the congressional race at El Rio. Scott Wiener and Connie Chan lead, with Saikat Chakrabarti following.

Early congressional results show Scott Wiener and Connie Chan lead the race to succeed Nancy Pelosi, with Saikat Chakrabarti in third with 13.5% of current votes. More updates: bit.ly/4dVwXsj
