SF reactionaries worst nightmare. Aaron Peskin in the Mayor’s office

SAN FRANCISCO – CHINATOWN PORTSMOUTH SQUARE
Lee Heidhues 4.6.2024

When it comes to Mayoral campaign opening day crowds, Supervisor Aaron Peskin has no competition.

Launching his campaign on a sunny Spring morning in a packed Portsmouth Square in San Francisco’s Chinatown, Aaron Peskin was joined by several hundred beyond enthusiastic supporters. It was a gathering of the City’s Progressive glitterati and a representative sampling of multi-cultural San Francisco.

The other entrants in the race. Mayor London Breed; Supervisor Ahsha Safai; Levi Strauss & Co. scion Daniel Lurie and Mark Farrell can only dream of having such a throng cheering them on.

Aaron Peskin’s opponents displayed their boorish behavior. A small cadre brandishing bullhorns and whistles tried vainly to disrupt the festivities. The ringleader of this pathetic crew was Jade Tu whose day job is campaign manager for one of the Mayoral aspirants Mark Farrell.

Cameras were in abundance.
Jade Tu, campaign manager for mayoral candidate Mark Farrell with a small group of agitators, attempted to disrupt the event. My sources tell me the disruptors were paid to perform their obnoxious chore. When the allotted time was over they crawled away to their swamp.
