The San Francisco Citizen

There’s less than a month left until the big 2008 election in San Francisco, so it’s not too early to think about the Supervisor race in District One, aka The Richmond. Here are the candidates to replace Supervisor Jake McGoldrick:

Nicholas Belloni - Independent Film & TV Producer
Sherman D’Silva
George Flamik
Fidel Gakuba
Jason Jungreis
Brian J. Larkin
Sue Lee - Planning Commissioner
Eric Mar - School Board Member
Alicia Wang - Teacher

This was the scene inside Star of the Sea Church at tonight’s debate hosted by the somewhat religulous San Francisco Organizing Project (SFOP). For some reason, the front runners were all grouped stage left. They are Sue Lee, Eric Mar, and dark horse Alicia “Free Hugs” Wang - take your pick:

There was a good turnout of 150 souls or so, complete with a Saguaro cactus from candidate Brian Larkin.

Some say that district elections favor one candidate or another. Oh well.

What’s that - you want to hear what everybody has to say? You want to meet the candidates? Here you go.

Enjoy.

San Francisco Unified School District Commissioner Eric Mar soundly won the sole endorsement of the San Francisco Democratic Party to replace Supervisor Jake McGoldrick this week, and now it’s his birthday. So he had a party at the Toy Boat Dessert Café on Clement in the Richmond District today.   

Alicia Wang and Sue Lee are the other major candidates in the race

This is Eric’s platform and this is his schedule for the week:

5:30 PM: Monday Night Phonebanking

7PM: The Peaceniks Benefit Concert for Eric Mar
