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.

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

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

Due to credible allegations we have rescinded our endorsement in District 8

[Theo Ellington @theoellingtonSF]

I’m a SF native who’ll ensure D10 gets the same investment as the rest of the City.

VOTE Theo Ellington for District 10 Supervisor | By Nov. 3

The Chronicle says Jane Kim would be a disaster as California’s insurance commissioner. We agree.

Vote for Ben Allen this November.

[GrowSF @GrowSF]

District 10 needs a supervisor who wants to build more homes, make our streets safer, and get things done for families.

This November, vote for Theo Ellington.

Noe Valley will welcome a new public Mandarin immersion school in 2027.

Giving parents more choices to find a great school is good for kids and helps keep families in San Francisco.

This is the Board of Education dream team: Phil Kim, Tim Tung, and Autumn Brown Garibay. They’ll put students first, raise reading scores, and get SFUSD’s budget under control.

Endorsed by the SF Democratic Party, Mayor Lurie, and GrowSF. Vote for all three.

SF's retail rules make chain stores get special permission to open. That means empty storefronts stay empty longer.

Supervisor @bilalmahmood wants to cut the red tape and let grocery stores and pharmacies skip that step when they replace another chain.

Connie Chan opposed housing. Opposed transit. Opposed public safety measures. Opposed the school board recall. Opposed outdoor dining. Even opposed a ferris wheel.

What has she actually done as supervisor besides say no?

Good news for California voters: mail-in voting is not changing for November.

The Supreme Court blocked new Trump administration rules that would have made last-minute changes to how mail ballots work.

Thank you to California Attorney General Rob Bonta who helped lead the lawsuit that stopped these changes.

SFUSD is rethinking how elementary school assignment works, with changes that could affect your child's commute and access to school programs.

The district is asking for feedback now. Fill out the survey and tell SFUSD what your family needs from the new system by September 30.
