Rep. Laura Friedman Praises State Senator Scott Wiener Amidst Pelosi Succession Battle
Rep. Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) has publicly lauded State Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) for his legislative achievements and commitment to progressive issues in California. Friedman, who collaborated with Wiener in the state Legislature, highlighted his consistent efforts in championing causes important to Californians, including environmental protection, while simultaneously holding major industries accountable and supporting labor. She noted that Wiener distinguishes himself by tackling challenging and often controversial progressive issues and successfully implementing them, rather than pursuing easy legislative wins or engaging in 'progressive value signaling' without tangible results. This commendation comes amidst a highly contested race to succeed Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) in her House seat, a contest that has significantly divided the Democratic establishment in San Francisco.
