New: Remember that SF hype video with Steph Curry and the coyote from yesterday? A newly unearthed document shows the nonprofit behind it — Believe in SF — plans to spend ~$30M on Lurie’s agenda through 2027. Its donors are secret.

Scoop: The production company behind what was advertised as a history-making boxing event outside SF City Hall has pulled out of the plans. Mayor Lurie, an early supporter, is now calling for fans to be reimbursed https://t.co/MRvxW2xCvQ

but turnout has also been a lot higher in the past. in the 2020 presidential primary (Biden vs. Sanders), SF turnout reached 60.6%. it was 52.6% in June 2018, the last open CA governor's primary

[J.D. Morris @thejdmorris]

fyi, SF voter turnout for this week's election is on track to hit at *least* 46%, which is on par with what the city saw in the 2024 and 2022 primaries. And mail-in ballots postmarked by election day are expected to push that figure higher.

[J.D. Morris @thejdmorris]

Yesterday's election results were welcome news for SF Mayor Daniel Lurie: All of his endorsed candidates won their races. He was also on the winning side of at least 2 ballot measures, and a third was leaning his way in early returns.

NEW:

An S.F. commissioner appointed to bring the voice of an ex-prison lifer keeps ending up back in the jail he oversees. Women allege abuse, and he openly flouts some laws.

Can William Palmer reform the sheriff without reforming himself?
