The 19th Annual Induction Dinner Gala will take place on Nov. 22 at the world-renowned Olympic Golf Club in South San Francisco, the stunningly picturesque site to a number of the past U.S. Open Golf Championships.
There are things she and her staff prepare for in managing an event, such as the annual Doc Stories, Nov. 5-8, at the Vogue Theater. They must contend with a daunting assortment of variables.
On Friday, Heavy Water Collective – which is made of a group of photographers who all shoot at Ocean Beach – will open its largest exhibition yet at the Harvey Milk Photo Center. The show, which includes 74 images from 25 photographers, will open with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 6 and remains on view through Dec. 5.
More than a century after sewer and water pipes were first installed beneath Geary Boulevard, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) began a major infrastructure upgrade in January 2025. The project replaced aging sewer and water pipes along Geary Boulevard from Stanyan Street to 32nd Avenue. Less than two years later, the underground utility work is complete, helping ensure these essential systems can continue serving the Richmond District for generations to come.
Wiener will likely be the first openly LGBTQ+ person elected to Congress from San Francisco, and his victory party was held in his home neighborhood, the Castro. His lead has narrowed somewhat as votes continue to be counted, and according to preliminary returns he is currently leading 55.4%-44.5%. Major outlets have not yet called the race, with only 51% of the votes counted; but according to NBC News midday Nov. 4, Chan would need almost 56% of remaining votes to win the race.
Supervisor Alan Wong won election to a full four-year term representing District 4 on Tuesday night, according to San Francisco’s Department of Elections’ 8:45 p.m. report, defeating challengers Jeremy Greco and Albert Chow. Wong had 76.41% of the vote in the second round of ranked-choice voting.
San Francisco voters defeated Proposition G 62.65% to 37.35%, according to preliminary results with 100% of precincts reporting.
Wiener leads Chan 47%-41%, according to an independent Oct. 18-19 survey of 454 likely voters from the Democracy and Fair Elections Lab at the University of Southern California. Since that’s within the margin of error, and other polls also show a lead that’s too close for Team Wiener’s comfort, Wiener campaign spokesperson Joe Arellano said the senator isn’t “taking anything for granted.”
In today’s race, Wong runs against Jeremy Greco, a former worker-owner at Other Avenues Food Co-op and Albert Chow, who owns Great Wall Hardware. In June, Wong won 46% against four other candidates, and 64% in the final round of ranked-choice voting against Natalie Gee, an aide to District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton.
The November election asks San Franciscans to think about more than individual candidates or propositions. It asks what kind of City we want to live in, how we balance competing needs and whether neighborhoods have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect daily life. From my perspective on the West Side, five questions deserve particular attention.
The San Francisco Sierra Club supported Prop. K in 2024. I did not agree then with closing the Upper Great Highway to cars between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard, and I do not agree with the the club’s opposition to Prop. G.
Living in San Francisco’s Richmond District has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, as it is a multicultural city. I have quite a few friends from different countries, and have known and worked with many of them for a long time. However, I never knew how they happened to come to the United States. I decided to find out.

We must take urgent steps now to protect Social Security for decades to come. If I’m elected to Congress this fall, I will work to ensure our seniors receive full benefits under Social Security.
Neighbors have legitimate concerns regarding the need to use this highway. Detours create more stress and more pollution. There is nothing particularly ecological about Diablo Canyon-powered electric bikes and motorbikes taking over the stretch. Nor are yoga classes, skateboarding or parades activities which can not be staged elsewhere. Given the inhospitable fog and winds that beset the coast, these do not appear to be a great use of public space, profit making or not.
