Vea cómo se postulan: Safaí acompaña a Farrell por el Excelsior, y se refiere a él como “mi amigo”

Read in EnglishDurante las últimas dos semanas antes de las elecciones, los artículos de campaña de Mission Local se estarán alternando diariamente entre los principales candidatos. Hoy es el turno de: London Breed. Lea los artículos anteriores aquí.Desde que Ahsha Safaí declaró su candidatura para la alcaldía en mayo de 2023, ha recorrido muchas veces el corredor de la calle Misión en Excelsior, pidiendo a los dueños de tiendas que coloquen sus letreros en las ventanas y solicitando el voto de los residentes. Sin embargo, hoy, Safaí no fue solo. Mark Farrell, su oponente en la contienda electoral por la alcaldía, con quien recientemente formó una alianza de votación por elección clasificada, lo acompaña cada vez más en la campaña. Es probable que esta alianza solo beneficie a Farrell, ya que Safaí, quien termina su mandato como supervisor del Distrito 11, […]

Safaí chaperones Farrell, ‘mi amigo,’ through Excelsior

For the last two weeks before the election, Mission Local’s campaign dispatches are switching daily between the major candidates. Today: Ahsha Safaí. Read earlier dispatches here.Since Ahsha Safaí declared his candidacy for mayor in May 2023, he has walked the Mission Street corridor in the Excelsior many times, asking shop owners to put a Safaí sign in the window and asking residents for their vote. Nowadays, however, Safaí has company — Mark Farrell, his opponent in the mayoral race, with whom he recently formed a ranked-choice voting alliance, one that can only help Farrell as the termed-out District 11 supervisor will likely be the first of the frontrunners to have his votes redistributed.    So on Thursday, Safaí took on the staffer-like role of introducing Farrell to business owners. When Farrell ran into his linguistic limitations with Spanish-speaking voters, Safaí helped to translate. “My […]

Mark Farrell, Mayor Breed hit with cease-and-desist letters over use of S.F. City seal

Mission Local obtained a cease-and-desist letter by the clerk of the Board of Supervisors penned to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell. At issue: His purported misuse of the seal of the city of San Francisco.  The Information first reported that Mayor London Breed also received a cease-and-desist letter for purported misuse of the seal, which was also addressed to the city’s chief of protocol, Maryam Muduroglu.A third cease-and-desist letter was sent to the proprietor of a polymarket website offering the chance to bet on who will win the mayor’s race. In a Thursday evening email to members of the Board of Supervisors, longtime board clerk Angela Calvillo referred to this as “the most egregious” case. She said she expects to follow up with the site on Friday morning.  The cease-and-desist letters were penned by Calvillo in conjunction with the City Attorney’s […]

Safaí and Farrell form an alliance. Why?

Mission Local is publishing campaign dispatches for each of the major contenders in the mayor’s race, alternating among candidates weekly until November. This week: Ahsha Safaí. Read earlier dispatches here.To the surprise of some, Ahsha Safaí, the District 11 supervisor and mayoral candidate from a working-class district, formed an alliance last week with Mark Farrell, the venture capitalist who once represented District 2, one of the wealthiest in the city.Both say they will ask their supporters to rank each other second on the ballot — although on Farrell’s social media post about ranked-choice voting Thursday, he only asked voters to “rank Ahsha Safaí on your ballot,” not necessarily second. In the ranked-choice voting system, voters can, in order of preference, rank up to 10 candidates. If voters follow the advice, the alliance will give Farrell a boost, as Safaí is running […]

Call for Farrell to be criminally investigated precedes Farrell presser

Some 45 minutes prior to mayoral candidate Mark Farrell’s press conference announcing his preferred ranked-choice voting strategy, a consortium including three former San Francisco mayors made public a letter calling for Farrell to be criminally investigated. The letter was sent to Attorney General Rob Bonta and DA Brooke Jenkins and signed by former mayors Art Agnos, Willie Brown and Frank Jordan. It was also signed by former City Attorney Louise Renne; former state senator Mark Leno; former supervisor and retired judge Quentin Kopp; former supervisor Angela Alioto; former assistant district attorney and current criminal defense attorney Randy Knox; and veteran Bay Area attorney John Keker. The letter follows reporting by the San Francisco Chronicle and Mission Local regarding the commingling of funds between Farrell’s mayoral campaign committee and a ballot measure committee supporting Proposition D. The arrangement has enabled Farrell to effectively […]

Breed’s ‘Chinese grandma’ says Farrell backers coerced her

Mayor London Breed’s “Chinese grandmother,” Mrs. Wong, said that at a Chinatown banquet on Wednesday, she was coerced into wearing a Mark Farrell hat and tricked into posing with Breed’s opponent in a bid to make it appear she had switched sides.Tow Kuk Wong, more widely known as “Mrs. Wong” is president of the California Friends of Tenants Caucus, which has over 500 members, according to the 86-year-old. A well-connected community leader, Wong has also mobilized large groups of Chinese volunteers for Breed’s events. Wong is frequently pictured alongside Breed at campaign events.Her well-known image as a staunch Breed supporter makes any betrayal of the mayor a coveted win for other campaigns in a race in which Chinese votes hold significant importance.On Wednesday, she prepared herself for a mid-autumn festival lunch at the Far East Cafe. Instead, she found herself […]

What Mark Farrell would do in his first 100 days as mayor

Mission Local is publishing campaign dispatches for each of the major contenders in the mayor’s race, alternating among candidates weekly until November. This week: Mark Farrell. Read earlier dispatches here.With less than two months to go until Election Day, Mark Farrell is putting the jigsaw pieces of his plan for San Francisco together. The mayoral candidate revealed on Wednesday he would not open up Market Street to all cars (just to ride-shares like Lyft and Uber), but would upzone downtown, remove members of the police commission, and declare a fentanyl state of emergency. He said he would fire the police chief and the head of the transit agency, put together a “stop the spread” tent removal team, and make use of expanded mayoral powers he is bankrolling via ballot measure.  “My 100-day agenda articulates a clear plan: A vision for a safer, […]
