Good afternoon!
More political rage, anyone? An internal strategy document from TogetherSF boasts the group is raising millions to “grow and sustain [a] movement of community dissatisfaction.” Together SF is behind Prop D, which would cut commissions and increase mayoral power—but that’s just the beginning. Joe Rivano Barros reports that its plans through 2028 include eliminating the oversight bodies for libraries and public health, introducing at-large elections for supervisors, and “growing an engaged (and enraged) community.”
Speaking of Prop D, Mark Farrell‘s mailer for the Together SF measure didn’t sit well with the San Francisco Democratic Party, which accused him of misusing its logo to suggest the party supports Farrell’s mayoral bid. The SF Dems have sole-endorsed Mayor Breed.
Back story? There’s a whole lot of it, and you can start with our coverage of how TogetherSF became the 800-pound gorilla of San Francisco politics. Read all about the players, the donors, the friends and feuds—and how billionaire Michael Moritz fed the gorilla until it roared.
