Good morning!
You may have heard that the 49ers won last night, and are on their way to the Super Bowl. The Mission exploded in joy: Crowds spilled out of bars dancing and shouting, waving 49ers flags and setting off fireworks.ย One person was injured in a shooting around midnight at 25th and Folsom.
There’s another game underway, though. Joe Eskenazi looks at the crowded field of moderates running for mayor this year, and analyses the math: Progressives, he says, will actually decide the election.
That’s not likely to make Garry Tan, tech CEO and a major donor to moderate SF politicians, happy. “Die slow motherfuckers,” he wrote on X about supervisors Chan, Preston, Peskin, Walton, Ronen, Melgar, and Safai.
And speaking of the mayoral election, get your tickets now for Joe’s conversation with candidate Asha Safai. Friday February 2 at Manny’s.
More soon,
Sara
