Congress, District 12: <\/strong>No Endorsement<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what we wrote about Nancy Pelosi in our March 2020 voter guide, and not much has changed since then. If you\u2019d like details on why we don\u2019t support her, read on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nancy Pelosi<\/strong> is the incumbent, and also the Speaker of the House of Representatives.  We go back and forth on whether to evaluate her from a local SF perspective or from a national perspective. While it\u2019s rad that she\u2019s birddogging Senator McConnell to expand voter registration<\/a> and access and make Election Day a holiday, it\u2019s a drag that she\u2019s primarily focused on national politics and absent from SF\u2019s needs. She\u2019s been shamefully AWOL on the Hunters Point Shipyard radiation<\/a> controversy. She eventually called for \u201coversight of the oversight of the oversight,\u201d which is, uh\u2026 not very reassuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s the most powerful woman in Congress, and maybe the world. We give her props for holding that motley bunch of Democrats in line, but the closer we look at her record, the more pissed off we get about her representing our City:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
