In the recent San Francisco election, voters made their voices heard on several key issues, reflecting a shift towards moderate policies. Proposition E, which expands the San Francisco Police Department's surveillance powers, passed with 62.62% of the vote. Proposition F, tying welfare payments to drug screening and treatment, also passed with 65.39% approval. Proposition G, advocating for improved education, won in every precinct with an 85% approval, signaling a united front for quality education. The election also saw the rejection of the controversial police staffing measure, known as the 'cop tax.' A notable outcome was the overwhelming victory for moderate candidates in the Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) race, with 21 out of 24 seats, indicating a significant move away from progressive policies. Additionally, Proposition D, aimed at reforming the city's conflict-of-interest laws with more explicit prohibitions on gifts to public officials, was approved by voters. These results suggest a pivotal moment for San Francisco, as the city appears to be seeking solutions to pressing issues like police staffing, affordable housing, education, and the drug crisis through a more centrist approach.

Looks like early votes have given a boost to the Mod Squad in the DCCC race apart from Connie Chan hanging by a thread. Prop A starts the count with its 2/3, Mayor Breed’s measures are winning, the Cop Tax is losing. So far the incumbent Superior Court judges are holding on.
Complete domination for @GrowSF endorsed candidates and propositions in local SF election!! Why? San Franciscans are done with radical progressive ideology, defunding the police, harm reduction, addiction enablement, failing schools, and wasting billions of tax payer $$. SF…
That was fast. After the 8:45pm release, the @sfchronicle is calling these races: ❌ Prop B (SFPD staffing) ✅ Prop D (ethics rules) ✅ Prop E (loosening SFPD rules on surveillance, chases, etc) ✅ Prop F (drug screens for welfare recipients) ✅ Prop G (urging 8th algebra)
