In San Francisco's Richmond District, Supervisor Connie Chan has launched her reelection campaign amidst a challenging political climate. Chan, a progressive facing her first term, is up against Marjan Philhour, a small business owner from the neighborhood. Critics have labeled Chan a career bureaucrat, questioning her qualifications and accusing her of opposing initiatives for public safety, housing, and climate-friendly transit, with claims of an increase in burglaries by 52% and businesses shutting down. Supporters, however, gathered in significant numbers, approximately 200, to kick off her campaign, highlighting her immigrant family background and commitment to the community. The election is anticipated to be closely contested, reflecting a broader debate over the direction of the district and the city's governance, with some critics deeming Chan "utterly unfit to serve."
Autumn Looijen started San Francisco’s school board recall. Now, she’s running to unseat Supervisor Dean Preston. https://t.co/Z4KJlOwHSy

.@RepJeffries on @SpeakerPelosi: "Nancy Pelosi is like the @serenawilliams of the House of Representatives. She's the greatest of all time 🐐" "She taught us to be inclusive but decisive...our unity is our power...its an honor to follow in her incredible footsteps." More:… https://t.co/mfUD7xbXN1
"Chan was against the DA recall, against the school board recall, pro-Cop Tax, and ran on pro-defund the police. Every time, she supported the opposite point of view as the majority of the electorate." Connie Chan doesn't care about the people in her district, or San Francisco https://t.co/IgJOy6oenz
Connie Chan works hard against the basic needs of our elders (public safety) and our children (merit and Algebra in schools) She betrays the Asian Americans of San Francisco and is utterly unfit to serve. https://t.co/YstP3NJjwH
Supervisor Chan has been an abject failure. Vote for @MarjanPhilhour for real leadership! https://t.co/xhcOv6L1vU
What makes Connie Chan a progressive except her calling herself that? She's against housing. She's opposed transit and biking and pedestrian infrastructure. All of which is anti-climate. I'm begging the Chron to abandon these monikers for something more precise. https://t.co/noIm37g5fI

Connie Chan: “I have fought for the people of the Richmond for 12 years.” HUH? Connie was answering phones for Phil Ginsberg and then in Peskin’s repping D3 prior to Peskin and Preston pushing her into the D1 supervisor’s seat, a job for which she’s totally unqualified. https://t.co/6BP11GTrOy
We are up against Supervisor @conniechansf and an entrenched political machine that has dominated Richmond District Supervisor races for two decades.
