WATCH: Democrat Running to Replace Pelosi Opened Women’s Prisons to TRANS Inmates

For nearly four decades, Nancy Pelosi represented San Francisco in Congress and became one of the most powerful Democrats in American history. Now, as California voters decide who will replace her, one candidate has emerged as the frontrunner: State Senator Scott Wiener.

Most Americans have probably never heard his name.

That is exactly why his record deserves scrutiny.

Wiener is not just another California Democrat running in a deep-blue district. He is one of the clearest examples of how far the modern Democrat Party has moved from ordinary American values. If elected to Congress, he would bring one of the most extreme records in California politics to Washington.

In the primary race for California’s 11th Congressional District, Wiener advanced to the November general election against San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan. According to recent reports, Wiener led the primary field while Chan, who was backed by Pelosi, finished second. 

The race is now a contest to determine who will inherit one of the safest Democrat seats in the country.

But while the media will likely describe Wiener in polite terms as a “pro-housing” lawmaker or an “LGBTQ rights advocate,” voters deserve to know the rest of the story.

Wiener authored SB 145, a bill that changed sex offender registration rules for certain adults convicted of sexual activity with minors when the age gap is within ten years. Supporters claimed the bill addressed unequal treatment in California law. 

But for many parents, the obvious question was why California lawmakers were focused on weakening sex offender registration requirements in cases involving minors at all.

Wiener also authored SB 107, which made California a refuge state for minors seeking so-called “gender-affirming care.” In practice, the law placed California on the front lines of the transgender medical movement and shielded certain records and proceedings from out-of-state laws. 

For parents across the country who believe children should not be pushed into irreversible medical decisions, this was not moderation. It was radicalism.

He also pushed SB 357, which repealed California’s loitering law related to prostitution, making it harder for law enforcement to respond to prostitution and trafficking concerns in communities already struggling with public disorder.

This is the pattern. On issue after issue, Wiener has used state power to advance the priorities of California’s progressive activist class, even when those priorities collide with public safety, parental rights, and basic common sense.

That is why his congressional campaign matters nationally.

San Francisco is one of the bluest districts in America. Whoever wins Pelosi’s seat will almost certainly become another reliable vote for the Democrat agenda. 

But Wiener would be more than that. He would be a national messenger for the same ideology that has helped turn California into a warning sign for the rest of the country.

California is already facing the consequences of one-party progressive rule: homelessness, crime, unaffordable housing, public disorder, and families fleeing the state. Yet instead of learning from those failures, Democrats are preparing to elevate one of the politicians most closely associated with the state’s radical social agenda.

Nancy Pelosi may be leaving Congress, but the politics replacing her may be even further left.

Scott Wiener has low name recognition today. If he wins this race, Americans may soon learn exactly who he is—and by then, he could be helping write federal law.

WATCH: Unions Join Newark Anti-ICE Protests as the Left MOBILIZES Against Trump’s Immigration Enforcement

Anti-ICE protests in Newark, New Jersey, are exposing a much larger problem than opposition to one detention facility. The demonstrations show how organized left-wing groups, labor activists and even teachers unions are joining forces to fight President Trump’s immigration agenda.

On the latest episode of The Patriot Perspective, the hosts discussed the protests outside the Newark ICE facility and the broader movement behind them. 

The concern is not simply that activists are protesting. Americans have a right to protest. The concern is that these demonstrations appear to be part of a larger political machine designed to pressure law enforcement, defend illegal immigration and undermine the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.

One of the most concerning developments is the involvement of teachers unions.

Teachers unions are supposed to represent educators and focus on schools, classrooms and students. 

Instead, union activists increasingly appear at protests that have nothing to do with education. Their presence at anti-ICE demonstrations shows how far these organizations have moved away from their original purpose and how deeply they have become involved in partisan politics.

That should concern every parent in America.

Public schools across the country face serious problems. Students are struggling with reading and math. Discipline problems have increased in many classrooms. Parents are frustrated with ideological curriculum, failing schools and education bureaucracies that resist reform.

Yet some of the same unions that dominate public education are spending political energy attacking ICE and defending illegal immigrants from deportation.

Teachers unions are not ordinary activist groups. They have money, staff, political influence and the ability to mobilize members quickly. 

When organizations with that level of power involve themselves in protests against law enforcement, the issue becomes far more serious. These unions are helping build pressure against the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration law.

The episode also pointed to the broader left-wing strategy behind these movements. On the left, every issue becomes connected.

Anti-police activism, immigration activism, labor activism, anti-Israel activism and socialist politics are often treated as part of the same larger cause. That is why the same style of protest politics keeps appearing across different issues.

The question is simple: Why are teachers unions involved in protests against ICE?

The answer is political power. Teachers unions have become one of the strongest arms of the Democrat Party. They oppose school choice, fight charter schools, promote left-wing policies and protect a public education system that too often fails students. 

Their involvement in anti-ICE protests is another example of how unions use education as a political platform.

President Trump’s immigration policy is based on a basic principle: the United States has the right and duty to enforce its own laws. The left’s attempt to demonize ICE is dangerous, especially when powerful institutions like teachers unions join the campaign.

Teachers should be focused on educating students. Unions should be focused on improving schools. Instead, many union leaders appear more interested in resisting Trump than fixing the education crisis facing American children.

The anti-ICE protests should serve as a warning sign about the left’s political machine and the institutions helping power it.
