Gonzalez Endorses Tony Kelly for D10 Supervisor
In a statement released to Fog City Journal, Gonzalez said, “I am endorsing Tony Kelly because I believe he is an authentic neighborhood leader who has been working on substantive issues in District 10 for more than the last decade. Although his base is Potrero Hill where he’s led the Potrero Boosters, Kelly has worked on environmental justice issues in Bayview Hunters Point and open space and neighborhood-services concerns in Visitacion Valley, among other issues. District-wide, he’s worked on a wide range of complicated development and land-use matters (particularly through his work on the Eastern Neighborhoods Area Plan), so I’ve no doubt Kelly would join the Board of Supervisors informed and with the right priorities.”

A True Progressive Partnership
Politicians thirst for personal accolades, and just about any one of them would swoon over that passage in The New York Times. But over the last decade in San Francisco’s District 6, the more honest analysis is that our many victories– on the ballot, at City Hall and in the neighborhoods– have not been about Chris Daly. Rather, our success has grown from the strength of our grassroots community and a true partnership between those in the trenches and those of us they elevated into the halls of power.

Who Appointed “Labor” as Spokesperson for All Workers?
Critics, such as San Francisco Labor Council Executive Director Tim Paulson, say Adachi’s proposal “attacks” the “lowest paid workers.” The “left” weeps for the loss of “progressives” such as Adachi and Matt Gonzalez whom they perceive as abandoning the people and joining the ranks of the downtown elite.
