The San Francisco Citizen

This was the scene at Ron Dudum’s campaign headquarters on 2239 Taraval between 32nd & 33rd Avenue at his recent open house. Campaign Manager Tuan Nguyen is saying some of their recent events have attracted over 100 supporters.

Per Tuan:

“The Ron Dudum for Supervisor Campaign  will push forward and continue to gain new voters with the strong neighborhood support of locals.  This campaign is not about race or ethnic identification.  This is an opportunity for Ron Dudum,  a Sunset native, and District 4 to bring our experience, enthusiasm, and uniquely Sunset concerns to City Hall.”

It’s August so things are hotting up in this foggy district. Read about Supervisor Carmen Chu’s “big money” race against Ron here.

To be continued…

Oh my. Hundreds of volunteers came through the huge San Francisco Headquarters of Senator Carole Migden this past weekend. On hand to cheer her on were former Senate President John Burton and future Senate Pesident Darrell Steinberg.

A couple of termed-out Assemblymen are ganging up on her to turn her out of office. Read on: 

It’s a wide-open race involving the incumbent senator, Carole Migden, and her two challengers, Assemblyman Mark Leno and former North Bay Assemblyman Joe Nation. Each has a decent shot at winning the primary that is tantamount to victory in the overwhelming Democratic Third Senate District.

As much as this race is about anything, it’s about a struggle between the Democratic members of the (ironically-named) upper and lower houses of the Legislature in Sacramento. Senate leadership appears to be making a stand on behalf of Carole.

She’s got seven figures to burn through and lots of enthusiastic volunteers, so things should get interesting pretty soon. The Battle for Minis Tirith will look like a cakewalk compared to this election season.   

This shot shows about half of the largest room at HQ - the Great Hall of Ninth Street.

The original Spanish of the phrase… 

…Barack Obama is borrowing:

Round One of the Defense of Carole Migden has begun.

Ding Ding!
