Nancy Pelosi has a new challenger. He doesn't want to talk about her.

Scott Wiener may be running for the congressional seat held by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California). But the California state senator does not want to talk about the former House speaker.

“I’m not going to comment on Speaker Emerita Pelosi, other than to say I have enormous respect for her, and that’s all I will say,” Wiener said in an interview.

Wiener, San Francisco’s state senator since 2016, officially announced his congressional campaign Wednesday with a lengthy statement and launch video that touts his desire to stand up to President Donald Trump, as well as his work on LGBTQ rights and housing in San Francisco. In his announcement, he calls for “more than rhetoric and good intentions from Democrats.” But nowhere does Weiner mention that he is running for Pelosi’s seat.

“I’m running as Scott Wiener, seeking to represent San Francisco in Congress,” he said. “It’s not about other candidates.”
