Presented by

Good afternoon!

San Francisco immigration advocates are preparing for attacks on the city’s immigrant communities by a new Trump administration. Read their thinking about what could happen with DACA and “rocket dockets“—and their advice: Don’t fall prey to fear.

The votes are still being counted, and yesterday’s tally was very good news for incumbent D1 supervisor Connie Chan, who defeated rival Marjan Philhour.

In D7, incumbent Myrna Melgar looks like a winner–and a candidate for becoming board president. Read how Melgar pulled off her race against “the TogetherSF money machine.”
