Good afternoon!
It’s a wild ride this year, with crowded March and November ballots, but Mission Local’s working to keep on top of electioneering shenanigans. For next month’s election, the tough-on-crime nonprofit Stop Crime Action released a negative โJudge Report Cardโ slamming incumbent Judge Michael Bergert, and Joe Eskenazi looks into its Yelp-like “research.”
In the obscure but critically important DCCC race March 5, moderates are outraising progressives 4-1, pulling in over $1.1 million so far. Joe Rivano Barros and Kelly Waldron explain DCCC candidates can accept unlimited funds from individuals and corporations. Search our database to find out who’s giving what to whom.
For November’s D9 supervisorial race, Jackie Fielder leads in fundraising so far, with Roberto Hernandez and Trevor Chandler close behind. (Chandler has also raised money for his DCCC race.) Jaime Gutierrez and Michael Petrelis raised none.
For insight into November’s mayoral race, Mission Local is presenting live conversations with candidates. Joe Eskenazi interviews Ahsha Safaรญ tonight at Manny’s at 6PM: reserve your spot here.
More soon,
