SAN FRANCISCO

My reliable political source tells me politically savvy, hard working and blunt spoken Supervisor Aaron Peskin will enter the November 2024 San Francisco mayoral race shortly after the March 5th primary voting.
San Francisco progressives have been reeling since the 2022 recalls of District Attorney Chesa Boudin and three members of the School Board.
Help is on the way for beleaguered progressives. Now we have a genuine mayoral race in 2024.
This week Peskin, who has represented the North Beach/Chinatown District 3 for over 16 years, confirmed what has widely been rumored during a dinner with close allies.

With the Mayor being chosen by ranked choice, “Progressive” Peskin will undoubtedly have a strong vote in the first round. He needs to convince enough voters not scared off by the attack ads which will blast his record to vote for him as their second choice. He is a veteran someone who knows how City Hall works and gets things done.
Excerpted from San Francisco Standard 1.26.2024
The president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has a message for progressive supporters hoping he’ll run for mayor in November: hard pass.
“I’m not afraid of running,” said Aaron Peskin in an interview on Thursday. “I’m not afraid of losing. I’m afraid of winning.”
Aaron knows the four candidates in the race are law and order moderate/conservatives feeding at the trough of GrowSF, Garry Tan and assorted venture capitalists trying to takeover San Francisco.
