Pelosi gets longshot progressive primary challenger | TheHill
San Francisco attorney Shahid Buttar on Friday will formally challenge Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in the Democratic primary for California's 12th District, further illustrating the divide between the establishment and progressive Democrats.
Buttar, who challenged Pelosi in 2018, will officially announce his 2020 bid after filing paperwork at San Francisco City Hall, hitting the candidate filing deadline.
====================================================
I don't think this guy has much of a chance, supporting 'Medicare for All' and combatting mass incarceration and mass surveillance, citing Pelosi as siding with conservatives on those issues.
