San Francisco's upcoming mayoral race is heating up with Aaron Peskin running on a platform that criticizes the ease of housing development in the city. Peskin, who opposed the removal of former District Attorney Chesa Boudin in 2021-2022, is facing significant backlash over his past behavior and policies. Critics highlight his alleged drunken bullying and perceived inaction on key issues. Another candidate, Ahsha Safai, also opposed Boudin's removal, while current Mayor London Breed mostly stayed out of the conversation. The political landscape is further complicated by accusations against Assemblymember Matt Haney, who faces allegations of corruption and misuse of campaign funds, including 49ers tickets. The city's political environment is marked by accusations of corruption and mismanagement among its leaders, with voters expressing frustration over the handling of issues such as drug trafficking and housing development.
@AsmMattHaney is throwing stones from his glass prison cell. #felon #Haney4Prison https://t.co/wzGOld0LNe
Matt Haney's corruption is like a single weed in a garden. Aaron Peskin and London Breed's corruption? More like an entire field of weeds that's been left unattended for years.
Matt Haney is not exactly the saint I'd pray to, but compared to Breed and Peskin, he is practically a choir boy. That says a lot too.
My fellow Americans, I never meant to suggest that Matthew Haney was innocent but simply that in comparison to London Breed and Aaron Peskin, He is a saint. On the contrary, he needs to sit a few days in jail to think about what He has done.
Matt Haney is a Monster. So many of us - including @SusanDReynolds - knew and warned. whispers of far worse indiscretions still haunt me. now he's not just SF's problem. As I wrote in here in '21, Haney is vying for higher political positions. his version of success is lunacy,…
I’m just saying, people should talk about Aaron peskin, London breed and corrupt nonprofits the way they talk about Matt Haney, you know?
Great reporting .@Josh_Koehn! Please dig into ALL of our electeds. I would be furious as a donor to .@MattHaneySF if I knew he was spending my heard-earned campaign donation to essentially provide himself a millionaire's lifestyle. This is what corruption looks like.
Will Matt Haney be there? https://t.co/nLYMjoHJnN
Mismanaging Billions of Dollars, Aaron Peskin and London Breed getting their money up, not their funny up, as Matt Haney gets jumped by the media over 49ers tickets. https://t.co/2P7VF5cJDQ
Dean Preston lies to voters and is unfit to serve. He should return to private life in November 2024. Vote him and his NIMBY friends out of office and fix SF. The boom loop begins when we vote out the creators of the doom loop. https://t.co/DLK8dgXgF2
In the fair city of San Francisco, the Mayor and her minions cronies and The Board of Supervisors and their minions and cronies do battle, their words sharp as swords and their intentions as dark as night. The people look on in despair, their hopes for a better future dashed…
Lo! Yonder San Francisco Board Of Supervisors doth wax wroth, yet her ire begets naught but folly and discord towards Mayor London Breed. Verily, the city's fate doth hang in the balance, as the lords of governance squabble like children in the schoolyard.
Aaron Peskin, a man of great ambition but little substance, doth seek the mayoral seat with a heart full of greed.
The people of San Francisco cry out for a leader, yet Aaron Peskin doth turn a deaf ear to their pleas.
Aaron Peskin, a man of many words and little action, doth speak of change but bringeth naught but stagnation.
The city's woes be great, yet Aaron Peskin doth offer naught but a feeble hand to lead us through the storm.
Will @MattHaneySF survive this scandal?
Matt Haney is just the tip of the ice berg. Now look at the corrupt organizations and corrupt non profits benefiting from the suffering of the less fortunate on the streets.
SAN FRANCISCO VOTERS: never forget the shameful, hate-filled Jew-bashing inside city hall chambers early this year, orchestrated by current District 5 supervisor candidate Dean Preston, and ensuing circus enabled by current mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin. https://t.co/PQOBjyfRz8
Dean Preston is a housing obstructionist. And now he’s gaslighting voters to cover it up. He claims he “voted to approve 30K new homes”. But the reality is the City has only approved 14k units across ALL of San Francisco since he took office… https://t.co/RKyslKruFH
Dean Preston is easily the most dishonest elected official in San Francisco, but lying about housing numbers that anyone can look up is next level crazy even for him. https://t.co/O3V8W9VkkA
San Francisco democratic politicians aren't the solution, they're the problem... https://t.co/Co7CWWVGfn
You know who doesn’t steal from their campaign coffers, @ManuelNoris2024! Matt Haney 4 prison!
Voters need to stop allowing corrupt prison abolitionists like @AsmMattHaney to fail upwards. https://t.co/6me3HBRcfU

It’s really hard to believe that the same corrupt leaders who enabled this chaos are running for office again… London Breed and Aaron Peskin need to resign from office. Corrupt San Francisco leaders have enabled chaos and death via fentanyl for financial gain through corrupt… https://t.co/InvmurToIm
So here is my question: how many chances should @AaronPeskin be given? How many times will San Francisco voters overlook his lies? His drunken bullying? I say this as someone who BELIEVED him when he said he had changed in 2015 and endorsed him for D3 supervisor. https://t.co/ouveSuMGXY
san francisco has perfect climate, young people want to move here, and has a huge tax base—but our politicians prioritize things like “let drug traffickers have all the sidewalks downtown” and “give cash to drug addicts with no strings” (a real policy) https://t.co/EeOMExE6On
SF MAYORAL CANDIDATES ON TOPIC OF CHESA BOUDIN In 2021-2022, disgraced Chesa Boudin saw calls for his resignation or face recall. Aaron Peskin: Opposed removal Ahsha Safai: Opposed removal London Breed: Mostly stayed out of conversation https://t.co/PRJ21FUOsJ

your recurring reminder that Aaron Peskin is running for Mayor on a platform that it is too easy to build housing in San Francisco https://t.co/r4LGEuP43B
