Mark Dietrich – A local Donald Trump
Mark Dietrich will stoop to any depths in the political swamp to destroy his opponents and all for which they stand.
The most incendiary political flamethrower in San Francisco’s Richmond District is unleashing his venomous and divisive rhetoric over a year before the 2024 election.
Mark Dietrich, whose extreme law and order rhetoric attacking and belittling the homeless, Progressives and all who stand in his way has now set his sights on the Asian American Supervisor representing his district.
Mark Dietrich was instrumental in the political coups d’etat which ousted Progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin and three school board members in 2022.
The photo of Mark Dietrich on election night June 7, 2022 showing him arm outstretched, beverage in hand, howling in glee with his cadres perhaps illustrates better than any words can describe the true nature of this political creature. Destroy all who oppose him and wallow in victory.
In a recent column in the online Richmond Review/Sunset Beacon Mark Dietrich tried to portray himself as nothing more than a neighborly good citizen. But, buried in this soporific column, Dietrich gets to the point of all his false neighborliness.
- Download the 311 app and use it to report dumping, graffiti, dangerous encampments or other civic issues. Sometimes issues are fixed instantly, sometimes it takes a few days. More importantly, 311 is how the City measures and monitors issues. The data that is captured is used to direct resources. If we all use it more, the magnitude and severity of our issues will become far more visible.
- Ask around and start or join a neighborhood watch group on your block. You can contact the professionals at SFSAFE for formal procedures, or just meet some neighbors and do it yourself. It doesn’t have to be complicated. You will find the benefits go far, far beyond just crime watching. For tips visit SFSAFE.org or StopRichmondBurglary.org.
“Report dumping, graffiti, dangerous encampments or other civic issue…”
“If we all use it (the 311 app) more, the magnitude and severity of our issues will become far more visible..”
“Join a neighborhood watch group on your block..”
All of these law and order dog whistles are nothing more than Mark Dietrich’s appealing to fear and paranoia. The same strategies used to great advantage by Donald Trump.

WAITING FOR MARJAN: Disgruntled Richmond District voters have launched a website that includes an online plea for former mayoral aide and small business advocate Marjan Philhour to run against incumbent Chan. Signed by 102 Richmond residents and organized by resident Mark Dietrich, the online petition feels like a bit of 2011 throwback, when supporters of former Mayor Ed Lee launched a campaign imploring him to run.
