Christine Pelosi, the daughter of San Francisco's longtime Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, announced her plans to run for office this week.

Despite speculation that she would run for Congress, Christine Pelosi isn't running for her mother's seat but California State Senate.

"I'm running to represent you, San Francisco, in Sacramento," Christine Pelosi said in her announcement video. "Fighting for consumer rights, women's rights, gun violence survivors, immigrants and our most vulnerable communities."

Christine Pelosi is a Democratic strategist and attorney. She is running for the seat currently held by State Senator Scott Weiner, who is running to replace Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi after she announced her upcoming retirement last week.
