Supervisor Chris Daly sent Fog City Journal the following exclusive statement this morning explaining why he will not be declaring his candidacy for 2007 race for Mayor of San Francisco.

The energy and passion at Saturday's Progressive Convention was inspirational. I truly appreciate all of the work that everyone put in to make it a success.

Family is the most important part of my life. I was fortunate to spend all day Sunday with Sarah and Jack. Sarah and I talked late into the evening about a possible campaign for Mayor. After a tough campaign last Fall and expecting a new baby in late October, I plan to spend more quality time with my family this year. A campaign for Mayor would not allow that.

I believe in progressive politics and in the ability of a progressive candidate to win the Mayor's race this Fall. I look forward to helping make this happen.

Thank you.

Supervisor Chris Daly.
