Gentle Reader, did you have the foresight to be born in San Francisco? No? I thought not.
Well, that’s why your campaign to unseat incumbent Mark Farrell won’t work.
BTW, did you know that he’s a “native San Franciscan who grew up in District 2?” And now that you know, he’ll never let you forget it.
