San Francisco District One Supervisor Connie Chan, despite her blatant betrayal of the Progressives who foisted her into office, is banking on these same Progressives to give her four more years.
What happened to the Connie Chan who opposed the Recall of District Attorney Chesa Boudin and three school board members in 2022?
In 2020 it was Chic for Connie to pitch herself as a Progressive. Connie is no Progressive and once in office realized she is not in synch with her District.
Rather than stand on principle, Connie caved.
I will say it over and over.
The Progressives got played by Connie big time in 2020. Particularly the environmentalists, including such groups as Sunrise Bay Area, who endorsed Connie and helped her squeak into office by 125 votes.
Once in office Connie became the most fierce opponent of Slow Streets, JFK Promenade and The Great Walkway.
Connie’s only core belief is that climate killing cars are predominant and should rule the roads of San Francisco.
As Chairperson of the Supervisor’s budget committee Connie has voted for everything the San Francisco Police Department and its strident Police Officers Association has requested.
As has been aptly pointed out to me. How many times is Connie going to have a photo op with the Captain of the Richmond District Police Station?
The Progressives are blithely ignoring Connie’s craven right wing turn and will get played, again.
When Connie linked arms with uber reactionary David Lee days before the 2020 election that said it all.
Of course, Connie signing her campaign Lit “In solidarity” was the real tell tale sign…… and once safely ensconced at City Hall the REAL CONNIE appeared.
