Today from Mission Local


Good afternoon!

An interim steering committee of the San Francisco Dyke March held a town hall meeting on Saturday to suss out community interest in organizing for a 2025 march. The former board disbanded after canceling this year’s event.

OK, we’re getting down to the wire here: We’ve collated months of reporting for you on the mayoral race, school board race, supervisorial candidates, and ballot measures. All our award-winning investigative work on the money behind the San Francisco contests is here and here. And remember, you can contact our reporters to ask us any questions about the election, send in a tip, or share your thoughts!

For this final week before the election, See how they run will be switching coverage of the major candidates daily. If you missed it, mayoral candidates Ahsha Safaรญ and Mark Farrell stumped together in the Excelsior over the weekend, baffling some voters. Stay tuned.

More soon,

Sara
