Tonight: DA candidates debate
- George Gascon, Sharmin Bock, David Onek, Vu Trinh
In an interview with the Fog City Journal, Assemblyman Tom Ammiano said this of the San Francisco mayoral race: “As many people as we think know about this, even if it’s a thousand or so, we’re all insiders and it doesn’t really click with the electorate until around after Labor Day and October.” When you consider there that Ammiano there is talking about the competition to become the city’s top public official, it’s hard to believe how much attention the race for a considerably more obscure office, district attorney, is already getting.
The candidates have been hopping all over town to debate each other, publishing cutting editorials on each other’s weaknesses, and raising some $600,000 in campaign contributions. For those who enjoy a feisty election–which also happens to touch on such enthralling issues as police corruption, capital punishment, and sex trafficking–this is a great one to follow. The next debate in the lineup is tonight, 7-9:30, at the African American Art & Culture Complex at 762 Fulton Street, San Francisco.
