The 800-member strong SF Young Democrats<\/a> (SFYD) has scheduled to hold a restricted District 6 candidates debate this evening at the South Beach Yacht Club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The winner of the debate will garner SFYD\u2019s coveted endorsement.<\/p>\n

Candidates Mathew Drake, Glendon \u201cAnna Conda\u201d Hyde, James Keys, Jane Kim, Jim Meko, Theresa Sparks and Debra Walker will face off at 6:30 pm \u201cfor an in depth discussion on the city budget, key district issues and the future of our city,\u201d according to SFYD President Maxwell Szabo.<\/p>\n

The seven candidates were selected based on responses to a questionnaire, according to Szabo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an Issues and Action Committee that sent out a questionnaire to the candidates,\u201d Szabo said, responding to FCJ inquiry. \u201cThey reviewed the answers from the 16 that responded, and voted on which of those to recommend we invite. The board voted on those recommendations and the seven you see are those the board voted to invite to participate.\u201d<\/p>\n

D6 candidate Elaine Zamora, who has qualified for public financing, has chosen not to participate in the debate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understood that they had already chosen their candidate,\u201d Zamora told FCJ. \u201cI don’t ordinarily act on rumor or innuendo. However, in this case it seemed plausible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Zamora declined to comment on which candidate she believes has been pre-selected to win SFYD\u2019s endorsement, insiders believe Theresa Sparks will be crowned.<\/p>\n

SF Examiner<\/a> columnista Melissa Griffin<\/a> will moderate the debate. SFGate<\/a> culture blogista Beth Spotswood<\/a> will provide live, streaming commentary<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
