On Friday, May 15, supporters of Connie Chan’s campaign for U.S. Congress gathered on the Polk Street steps at City Hall for a spirited get-out-the-vote event.

Chan fired up the crowd, which included teamsters, electrical workers, and many more trades members, along with members of SEIU and some IFPTE folks — all of them united with the broader community of San Franciscans backing Chan’s run.

After the rally, supporters headed to a secure ballot drop-off box around the corner to cast their early votes supporting the District 1 supervisor’s congressional bid.

Three days later, on Monday, May 18, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi officially announced her endorsement for Chan.
