In the heated race for the District 1 Supervisor position in San Francisco, incumbent Connie Chan faces stiff competition from Marjan Philhour. Chan, criticized for her stance on public safety, housing, climate policies, and education, has been labeled as unfit for the role by various community members and political figures. Critics point out that under Chan's tenure, burglaries are up 52%, and she has been against housing, opposed transit and biking, anti-climate, against the basic needs of our elders, against merit and Algebra in schools, anti YiMBY, and pro car. Despite the criticism, Chan kicked off her reelection campaign with the support of approximately 200 people in Richmond District, emphasizing her progressive values and immigrant family background. Philhour, on the other hand, is portrayed as a small business owner with a clear vision for the neighborhood, advocating for change and challenging the entrenched political machine that Chan represents. The election is shaping up to be a closely contested battle, reflecting broader political divisions and concerns within the community.
"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
When Republicans fight each other, Democrats win.

She’s anti YiMBY and pro car. These are good selling points to Chinese American home owners in D1. https://t.co/uLBkrRcVhS
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 is a career bureaucrat. While her opponent is a small business owner from the neighborhood. The choice is clear for D1 Supervisor in San Francisco and it's @MarjanPhilhour. https://t.co/7VJHzdwvFV

It was an honor to to join so many elected, labor, community and neighborhood leaders out en masse today to support the re-election of the @sfbos only Chinese Supervisor @conniechansf She is the product of the hard work of an immigrant family and lives those values everyday. https://t.co/hAYjwWyr3n
The commies should enjoy this win while they have it. Come Nov the useless Democrat losers that split the vote in 3 will have the the advantage. https://t.co/ttogvqpC9H
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
lol when you try to pretend you aren’t part of the machine. 😂 It’s too bad an actual independent or Republican isn’t running in D1. If Commie loses, it won’t be bc Marjan is superior. Marjan also wanted to defund the police and endorsed prop 16 in 2020. https://t.co/MSdBJ7FHMt
We are up against Supervisor @conniechansf and an entrenched political machine that has dominated Richmond District Supervisor races for two decades. That machine is responsible for the state our neighborhood is in today - burglaries are up 52%, businesses shutting down on Geary,… https://t.co/YKlKzRCqyU
The commies should enjoy this while it lasts. Come November ain’t no way this pro crime comrade is winning. https://t.co/O1239qzn03
Melgar was a mediocre career bureaucrat & intellectually stunted communist who leeched onto SF’s democrat machine, gaining its endorsement for her 2020 supv campaign. If D7 voters re-elect her, they deserve more of the rampant burglaries plaguing their formerly quiet streets. https://t.co/Cn7stm6lev
Only time “conservatives” are allowed to score a win - is in the service of the Left and Democrats.
