Marjan Philhour and her husband have both worked for London Breed and Marjan will be nothing but a rubber stamp for what Breed wants, if either of them get elected.
Marjan Philhour is running for the third time and has been endorsed by Together SF. Most people are not aware that Together SF urges the repeal of rent control and district elections.
The latest plans for the massive building projects on the Parnassus campus of the University of California San Francisco were made public recently, amid neighborhood concerns about noise and pollution as construction is already well along.
Originally this started out as a pro-President Biden commentary on preparing for the November election. A meditation on how an incumbent running on a successful record of accomplishments should be more of a slam dunk than what was being portrayed in the media.
I decided to use this extra space on the candidates’ page to remind readers that we don’t take sides on issues and don’t endorse candidates. The reason why is to try to present a balance of news and views and not use the power of the press to sway opinions one way or another.
Election Day is just weeks away – Tuesday, Nov. 5. We will be electing a president and leaders at both the state and local levels. We will also be deciding on issues that impact us, such as housing, children’s programs, climate change and more. Be sure your voice is heard and vote.

Nevertheless, it is important to read it in order to make informed decisions on the many candidates and propositions on the Nov. 5 election.
I, for one, am grateful that Quentin Kopp’s wasted vote for the presidency doesn’t matter because California is securely in the hands of the Democrats.
It has been 10 years since the passage of the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. How could voters not have been in favor of it back then? Well, we can now blame the deceptive ballot measure name in hindsight, as it has ultimately led to upheaval in California’s criminal justice system.
… I’m constantly approached by concerned, frustrated neighbors who ask, “Hey Mark, when are you going to run for D1 supervisor?” I tell them all the same thing: “I can do you one better – I’m supporting Marjan Philhour for supervisor, and so should you.”
On one side there is a wealthy technocrat who is foul-mouthed, makes death threats against our supervisors and brags about it, and on the other side there is a public interest journalist who walks away from a coffee shop with some campaign literature. The latter is regrettable, the former reprehensible.
