Good afternoon!
Well, a member of the county Democratic Party resigned last night—but it wasn’t Chair Nancy Tung. Read the report from Bailey Zitko about the fraught emergency meeting that endorsed Gary McCoy for District 8 supervisor after its former endorsee, Manny Yekutiel, withdrew.
A man on a scooter fleeing police was killed in SoMa today. Andres Jimenez reports that three witnesses said a man in a grey sedan, potentially an undercover officer, cut off the scooter then got out and tackled the suspect, whose head hit a metal pole.
Aaliyaah Español-Rivas, a reporting intern at Mission Local, has a beautiful story about memory, loss, and returning to her childhood home in SoMa. See what can happen when an 11-year old is given a camera and a job as “documentarian” of her vanishing neighborhood.
Tomorrow night: Don’t miss it! Mission Local, the New York Times, and City Arts & Lectures present a live debate with congressional candidates Connie Chan and Scott Wiener, moderated by Joe Eskenazi and Heather Knight. Get your tickets for this key event, Tuesday October 13, 7:30 p.m.
More soon,
Sara
