CA-11: SEIU pulls its endorsement of Scott Wiener (D), backs only Connie Chan (D) in House race

The California Service Employees International Union, with 750,000 members statewide, has pulled its endorsement of state Sen. Scott Wiener over his opposition to Proposition D, San Francisco's "Overpaid CEO Act," set to appear on the June 2 ballot.

In the race to succeed Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi to a San Francisco House seat, the union will endorse only San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan, who supports the tax. Previously the union had issued a dual endorsement of Chan and Wiener.

Proposition D would strengthen a tax on companies with more than 1,000 employees and $1 billion in annual revenue and whose top executives make more than 100 times the median pay of their San Francisco employees. SEIU locals 2015 and 1021 are sponsors of the Yes on D campaign.

Voters first approved the tax in 2020 but lowered it in 2024 amid San Francisco's sputtering economic recovery.
