Republican-Turned-Democrat Marie Hurabiell Joins Race for Nancy Pelosi's House Seat
"San Franciscans deserve a Congressperson who represents their values—not the extreme, progressive agenda that has failed our beautiful city. I've done a lot to fight back against radicalism in San Francisco, promoting commonsense policies and leaders. Now, I'm ready to do the same in Washington."
"I looked around and realized that there was no other viable moderate getting into the race. I have decided that it's the right thing to do."
"The three current candidates in the race are essentially fighting for the same group of voters, and the rest of San Franciscans feel left out. People are looking for someone who represents their values."
Marie Hurabiell, a former Republican Trump appointee to the Presidio Trust, has announced her candidacy for San Francisco's US House seat, previously held by Nancy Pelosi. She positions herself as an "actual moderate" distinct from the three other main candidates: Scott Wiener, Connie Chan, and Saikat Chakrabarti. Hurabiell criticizes the "extreme, progressive agenda" she claims has failed San Francisco and pledges to fight radicalism in Washington. She argues the three existing candidates compete for the same voter base, leaving other San Franciscans unrepresented. Conservative outlets like the New York Post have characterized all candidates as progressives, though Wiener has historically been considered moderate by San Francisco standards.
