GrowSF

GrowSF is the #1 voter guide in San Francisco, trusted by hundreds of thousands of San Franciscans. You deserve a city that works.

[GrowSF @GrowSF]

Thank you, San Francisco! We flipped another supervisor seat, won all three school board races, sent Scott Wiener to Congress, and passed big reforms at City Hall.

Thank you to everyone who voted, shared our guide, and helped make this happen!

Congratulations to Ruth Ferguson, elected to the City College Board!

[GrowSF @GrowSF]

If you’re starting first grade or going back to school at City College, you should be able to get a great education right here in SF.

Congrats to everyone we endorsed who won their School Board and College Board races!

Big win in District 10! Congratulations to Theo Ellington!

Voters flipped another supervisor seat to someone who will build more housing and take public safety seriously.

[GrowSF @GrowSF]

Congratulations to @Scott_Wiener on his victory!

Scott has fought hard to build more housing and keep our transit running. Now he’s taking that fight to Congress, and we’re proud to have supported him.

[Theo Ellington @theoellingtonSF]

The voters have spoken loud and clear.

WE DID IT, District 10!

Thank you to my wife Seray and our three boys Lennox, Maxwell, and Hendrix. We couldn’t have done any of this without your love and support. This campaign was truly a full family effort.  

To my amazing team—Noah, Justin, Elaine—and the hundreds of volunteers who knocked on doors, made calls, hosted events, and believed in this campaign: THANK YOU! This victory belongs to all of us.

To my family, friends, and every resident who put their trust in me, I am forever grateful.

I was born and raised in these neighborhoods, and I’ve dedicated my life to serving them.

Now, we have an opportunity to write the next chapter together.

I ran to do something, not to be something.

And now the real work begins.

Let’s build the neighborhoods we deserve. Together!

Thank you!

Good morning

[Gustaf Alströmer @gustaf]

I’m proud to be a longtime backer of @GrowSF.

If you moved to San Francisco recently, it’s hard to appreciate how messy the city was six or seven years ago.

SF is still far from perfect. But local politics is hard, and this city has come a long way.

Your common sense cheat sheet for this election.

GrowSF, the Democratic Party, Mayor Lurie, and the Chronicle agree on a lot this November. Here’s where we’re aligned on keeping San Francisco moving forward.

Checking in on San Francisco election turnout before the final weekend of voting and everything is looking normal. We're on pace with the November 2022 midterm and estimate approximately 61% final turnout. https://t.co/X99bOzzlKd

SF’s Police Commission approved rules protecting privacy while allowing police to continue using drones.

Technology is helping make our city safer. We should give officers better tools to catch suspects and solve crimes, not take them away.

Big SF Chronicle endorsement for School Board candidates Phil Kim, Autumn Brown Garibay, and Tim Tung!

SFUSD has serious problems, and fixing them means making tough decisions that put students first. https://t.co/yGyy4kaSL3

[GrowSF @GrowSF]

The momentum is with Scott Wiener, and it’s not hard to see why.

On housing, public safety, and affordability, Scott has spent his career tackling tough problems and delivering results.

[Dustin Gardiner @dustingardiner]

The only independent poll in CA-11 (at least for general) came out today. It shows a tight race to succeed Nancy Pelosi:
🟦 Scott Wiener: 47%
🟦 Connie Chan: 41%
⬛️ Undecided: 9%
⬜️ Skipping question: 3%

SF wants to take over PG&E’s power grid, saying it can improve service and lower bills.

But PG&E says it could cost over $20 billion, and while they have reason to inflate that price, we still don’t know the real cost or how the city would run the grid.

We endorse Darshini Patel for District 8 Supervisor. She’s outcome-driven, reads the research, and thoughtfully engages on complex issues. She’s strongly pro-housing and will fight for more shelter and drug treatment facilities that the city needs.

SFUSD’s reading scores are among the lowest in California.

That’s why we back Phil Kim, Tim Tung, and Autumn Brown Garibay for school board: a teacher, a PTA leader, and a budget expert focused on getting more kids reading at grade level.

Vote for all three by Nov 3.

How do we shut down SF's drug market? Start with the data.

Five years ago, drug-dealing arrests hit a low: 1,780 a year.

Three years ago, the city launched the Drug Market Agency Coordination Center, uniting public health and public safety for the first time. Arrests spiked to 3,223 under then-Commander, now Chief, Lew. Convictions tripled from 16% to 46% under DA Jenkins.

It worked. The market shrank. Daytime dealing is gone.

So what's stopping us from finishing the job? Adaptation.

First, fewer dealers are left (good news!), with 1,948 arrested last year. But the ones who remain are harder to catch. They've switched from open dealing to drops and moved to nighttime, when police are stretched thin.

Second, judges keep letting them go. Of 1,172 pending dealing cases last year, only 10% were held pre-trial. Over 1,000 dealers went right back to the street.

To shut it down for good, we need to:

1. Put more police on the street at night
2. Launch a drug market intervention strategy that pairs prevention with enforcement
3. Hold judges accountable for releasing fentanyl dealers pre-trial
4. Change state law to treat fentanyl dealing as the deadly crime it is

We’re voting on a lot this election. But four propositions stand out because their impact could last for decades.

Props A, D, E, and F would reform San Francisco’s charter and change how City Hall works.

Vote YES on on these measures. Learn more at https://t.co/GBakP945c4

Due to credible allegations we have rescinded our endorsement in District 8
