Good afternoon!

Edwin Adams, the man killed in an SFPD chase on Monday, was pursued because of a warrant for not charging his ankle monitor, his attorneys said. Andres Jimenez Larias reports that the DA is investigating the death.

Get ready for a citywide lavender wave tomorrow, as the Golden State Valkyries take on the Atlanta Dream in the WNBA finals. Read Marisa Ingemi on the genius and drive of fearless head coach Natalie Nakase.

And speaking of finals, we’re in the home stretch of the contest between Connie Chan and Scott Weiner, and both campaigns are ramping up their spending. Io Yeh Gilman and Yujie Zhou look at where the money is now in the race for Congress.

Yujie Zhou has a great interview with Joseph Leung, who for decades was the face of Sing Tao Daily, the largest Chinese-language newspaper in the city. Read about Leung’s role in the growth of the Chinese-American community’s political influence, and what he’s planning to do with his new outlet, Tianwen Media.

More soon,
