It’s Election Day everywhere and it’s an important one in SF I endorse Farrell and Breed for mayor and recommend you use the @GrowSF voter guide. Rank Lurie #3, Yes on D We will retake the board of supervisors, defund the corrupt nonprofits and build prosperity for all of SF 🚀

Against my better judgment, saying it publicly, because enough of you are asking me privately. I’m ranking all 3 pro-sanity candidates, Farrell, Lurie, and Mayor Breed, all of whom I like, but I’m ranking @MarkFarrellSF #1. We need change, but we need someone who knows how the levers of government work. Only Mark fits that bill. He doesn’t want or need this job, but he’s trying to make San Francisco better. He’s got the backbone to not get chewed up by the system, the knowledge to use it for good, and he’s got the character to make the right judgment calls. But if you’re sick of the insane clown party and rank Farrell, Lurie, and Breed in some order, we can be friends. It’s time to fix San Francisco. Let’s go!

@ggreschler @reeyopeeyo There is a difference between waking up on third base a claiming you hit a triple (Lurie) and earning your way on to the team based on merit (@MarkFarrellSF). Problem is Lurie thinks running the City will be like waking up on third.

NEW: We dug deeper into how a relatively unknown Levi’s heir became the frontrunner in San Francisco’s mayoral race — and uncovered a family will, Daniel Lurie’s cars and many mansions. w/@reeyopeeyo sfstandard.com/2024/10/29/san…

Mark Farrell for the next Mayor of San Francisco Decided recently I was going to vote for Mark Farrell as my top choice for the next Mayor of San Francisco and thought I’d share my thoughts here in case it’s helpful for others San Francisco to me is the best friggin city, but we have the worst friggin government. San Franciscans are united in that we all agree our government is super bad. Heck, possibly the only thing the entire country agrees on is that our government is atrociously run San Francisco leaders have squandered the greatest natural and economic resources in the world in pursuit of their own political careers You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. Specifically, I mean our *leaders* who create the policy but do not seem to show any urgency at addressing the issues of its citizens SF voters: We’d like the schools to open during the pandemic SF government: We hear you, we will rename the schools SF voters: We’d like more housing SF government: We hear you, but unfortunately the developer didn’t kiss up to us enough so we’ll keep this Nordstrom parking lot...a Nordstrom parking lot. It’s really important that people kiss up to us enough SF voters: We’d like we’d like you to stop the ranksacking of Walgreens / dealing of fentanyl / general lawlessness SF government: We hear you completely. We’d decided to increase the penalties for remodeling your kitchen without a permit I mean this sounds like insane satire, and yet this is the literal truth of San Francisco public policy It’s like our government has no urgency to address a single issue whatsoever. If you are a shop owner and someone broke into your store, unfortunately the last person who will care is your elected official. They’ll offer you an insulting grant to help cover a fraction of the costs of the broken glass, but they won’t even consider stopping the broken glass in the first place Last week a burrito place in the Mission got broken 3 times! In a single week! After that, the shop owner decided she's quitting The people of San Francisco simply want a Mayor that will listen to their problems and then actually do something about it. At least that’s what I want More precisely, for me the single criteria for choosing who to vote for is whether they will *actually do something* versus just *talking* about doing something Will we have change or more of the same? To me, Mark Farrell is the only candidate who views that city as an amazing place but one with serious problems that need to be addressed now. Now and with urgency. My sense is Mark Farrell isn't running for mayor for personal glory, he is running because the city needs help. The city has some problems, he has some experience with these issues, and he’s been called into service for that reason. If you are a sane person, being a public servant has to be a thankless job you only do out of a sense of obligation to others. My sense is that Mark Farrell is a sane person Because we have ranked choice voting, I’m listing the current mayor London Breed as my second choice on the ballot. While I agree with a lot of her positions, it’s inarguable that under her term San Francisco has deteriorated while the corruption in the bureaucratic apparatus has only grown. A vote for more of the same is a vote for more of the same, even if her positions are ones I agree often with I’m listing Daniel Lurie, heir to the Levi’s fortune as my third choice. If he’s elected, I hope he will do what he says he will, but there’s nothing in this past track record or information produced by this campaign to show he will. His only track record thus far is running a nonprofit in a city that’s been plagued by a non-profit industrial complex that’s proven more adept at growing their budgets than fixing issues Lastly, I’d like to say that San Francisco is awesome. We deserve better from our leaders. We'll survive under Breed or Lurie, but Mark Farrell as Mayor gives us our best chance to flourish We’re just a darn good city with awesome people, stunning natural beauty, and the leading economy of the information age. Despite the possibly the most wholly incompetent city government in the history of city governments, the people of San Francisco keep winning A friend shared this photo with me of her daughter meeting Mark Farrell when he was interim Mayor in 2018 after the then mayor passed away. This is the kind of politician I want. Mark is going to be a tough leader, but his motivation is to help the people of San Francisco. Those who know him, tell me this is who he is – a kind person who’ll help your kids take off their boots on a rainy day. Mark is running for Mayor to help. And I believe Mark Farrell more than any other candidate thinks we’re just a great city and deserve a great government. Now and with urgency. Let me make this as clear as possible. A vote for every single candidate except Mark Farrell is a vote for more of the same If you want change and think we deserve better, Mark Farrell is the choice Mark Farrell for Mayor

I’m endorsing Farrell and Breed for SF mayor and this is why Vote Lurie #3 at best because while he says the right things, I am pretty sure he won’t do them consistently and that is what we need to create the boom loop

Former SF Fire Chief Jeanine Nicholson: "Lurie is not just a well-meaning 'outsider.' He is untested, unprepared & unsuited to the job. We should not “roll the dice” when we know lives are on the line. We should not 'experiment' when a crisis will come." sfexaminer.com/forum/what-dan…

@MattGinella Had the exact scenario on a trip to Ireland. Everyone collects their clubs and clothes at Shannon except one. Guy says, "let's go. We have PM time at Dooks. I can buy clothes in the morning." PS That guy has a complete outfit of Guinness logo clothing including the underwear.

You check two bags to Bandon, only one arrives. Which would you prefer?

"Either Lurie truly believes Farrell is his only competition — meaning he doesn’t see Breed as a credible opponent — or he is simply not concerned with the blatant corruption that has plagued San Francisco for over a decade." thevoicesf.org/lurie-runs-non…
