Manny’s: Mission Local presents: An Evening with Supervisor Dean Preston

Since 2008, Mission Local, the Mission’s fiercely independent local news site, has focused on everything from police reform to corruption at City Hall, housing, the gig economy and the people and places that make the Mission a community.

Now Mission Local is bringing its award winning team of journalists to Manny’s every month to delve into the big issues facing our neighbors and the city as a whole.

On Aug. 29 at 6 p.m., Mission Local managing editor Joe Eskenazi will sit down with Supervisor Dean Preston, San Francisco’s most prominent socialist elected official and the bête noire of the city’s angriest wealthy tech online political personalities.

There are few politicians with bigger targets on their back than Preston, who is up for reelection in 2024. Eskenazi will ask him about his record, his caustic relationship with the mayor, what’s next for him and the city — and how, in reality, Preston and the Democratic Socialists run this town. We saw it on the Internet: It must be true.
